So Many Babies

Being back on campus two weeks before classes start gets boring. I'm not too familiar with the blogosphere, so I started rapidly clicking that "Next Blog" button at the top. That's when I discovered that my blog has no place on Blogspot. It just doesn't fit in. For you see,

EVERY BLOG IS ABOUT SOMEONE'S BABIES!!!


They all have banners at the top that include a picture of the subject baby or babies and every post has so many pictures that I start feeling sorry for said baby. If you're out somewhere and someone is taking rapid-fire pictures of a non-famous baby with no discernible special occasion, THIS PERSON PROBABLY HAS A BLOG ABOUT THEIR BABY. 


Which leads me to my next rhetorical question: WHO READS THESE?! Are they like Christmas cards in that they're emailed to you all the time and you ignore them? Do relatives of the baby not living with it really crave the in-depth play-by-play (plus color commentary)? If it's just for the immediate family, why clog the tubes by putting it online at all? Does the baby grow up, gain comprehension of the situation, and become confused and suspicious? WHY ALL THE BABY BLOGS?!


I know that nobody reads this thing either, but AT LEAST IT'S NOT ABOUT BABIES!!!
