It started with a simple question — what do all good things have in common? The answer led me to the person who invented blogging. I shook his hand. Made him comfortable in a chair opposite my workstation. Then, banged his head on the glaring monitor. Stretched his eyebrows to his forehead so he could read the text in front of him clearly. And whispered in his ears, “Look what you have created, Frankenstein!”
Am I a psychotic junkie? Anti-institution? Mentally disturbed?
No.
I am an ordinary netizen suffering from repeated overdoses of junk blogs.
