Bloggers

Someone mentioned blogging is not only hobby but therapy…I could not agree more with this observation……….but some bloggers think otherwise. They thinks so highly of their hobby that they want to change the people, the rules& regulations, the system, the government, the world…ect. etc.ohhooooho..what a tall order. Being a fisherman naturally fishing is my number one hobby while yours is blogging …so what????

The words blogs, blogging, bloggered, bloggers or blogotician are all “computer rejected” words, hence conspicuously missing from some records & they are no where to be found in any dictionaries. Not even in Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary that began in 1898 which were known to offer a good deal of historical information about words. As there is no one acceptable meanings, interpretation or definition of the words, Bloggers came out with their own version henceforth causing some confusion.

In the words of NST Official, he sees Blogging as a mere hobby and to some it can be a form of therapy. Uchu Keling once said he decided to continue blogging as it was (and still is) his number one hobby, a very fair and sensible comment indeed.

So if blogging is hobby or leisure activities why do some bloggers made a big fuss out of it? Why complaining that the authorities, Ministers & government are too restrictive? Who are you to enforce your line of thinking upon others?
When bloggers think too highly of themselves they tend to go overboard with their net writing. They refused to draw the line and more often step over the boundary of their intended hobby. Bear in mind bloggers has no locus standi or business to enforce their views/opinion onto others let alone the democratic elected government.
I am no fan of Jabu but come to think of it he is not far from being correct when he said some bloggers are “specialist instigator”.

A particular Blogger wrote in his blog that through blogging he hopes to make the world a better place for his kids& grandsons to live.
A young lady blogger who claimed to be residing in Australia says, “I'm an angel, but I've lost my way back to heaven”. Until someone shows me the map, I've taken it upon myself to rescue the oppressed Sarawakians from the dictatorship of Taib Mahmud and his cronies while trying to halt the ever expanding empire of the Taib Mahmud dynasty. This is nothing but an outright blasphemy. Besides, what on earth is she doing in Australia if she cares to rescue the oppressed Sarawakians. Perhaps she is too scared to face Taib and chose to escape from the state and that is an act of being coward.

Another blogger claimed that he is gathering intelligence information to track down Osama Bin Laden.

There is one, who is able to accurately foretell/predict the world future through a mere microscope. One local blogger said he would try his level best as a net writer to give the NCR taken illegally by the authorities back to the landowners.
Yet there is this new kid in town (new web site) who declared “fishing in the moon” is his occupation.

These soft of characters suggest that some (not all) bloggers are day dreamers or jokers of highest level and also a great pretender. Why I said great pretender? I ve not heard any blogger/s who dared to sacrifice their life for just cause. If from dust till dawn you are harping on ways to help others but when people looked around and found out that you cannot even helped yourselves, how would others believed in you? Besides, with these weird characters in the blogsphere, turning the blogs into a serious business or discussion is an impossible task. Just gorgeous, they are competing for an ambitious plan, interesting and catchy phrase in display.

So Bloggers, who & what do you think you are? Are you sure you chose the right hobby? Do you think readers, authorities and our society at large would agree with you or listen to you all the times? If you think so you are bound to be frustrated & disappointed.

Bloggers may not like it but to me they are bunch of “emotional wishful thinkers”. Using remote control, PC/laptop, keyboard, SMSees, e-mail addresses and other IT apparatus they hope to create impact or shape public opinion. The intention I must say is a noble one but the problem is if people won’t listen or agree they start the cursing games. They started spitting, screaming, shouting, and put the blame on their PC. That’s okay, coz in a worst case scenario they may just get a new PC or get the damaged one fixed/repaired.
More often that not, these bloggers started writing defamatory remarks/article, instigate or incite hatred and that where it becomes problematic.

There are bloggers who wish to see things happened rather than waiting for the things to happen. That’s well and fine. There are others who wish things to happen their way, not too bad. If however bloggers gatecrash or forced their way through then they are inviting trouble and become a menace to the society. Yet believed me they are those serve-centered who refused to accept the choice of majority and instead chose to use rhetoric rather than facts.

My advice to bloggers is, if you are not prepared for disappointment or frustration; why not take the cue from me. Try taking fishing as a number one hobby. All we need is a fishing rod and some baits. There is no limitation to the number of fish one care to catch. There is no restriction as rivers are long and the seas wide. If I don’t catch anything I only blamed myself and not others. Besides all catches are tax exempted. If the fish “refused to be caught” or eat the baits I just stop by at the fish market for a kilo or two.
When I am not fishing I can also discuss about promoting 1Malaysia concept after all the subject is not only confined to bloggers.
