Here are two teenage blogs, one from my nephew, Joel Weinberger, and the other from his friend. Miles ("From Nowhere") Klee. This is from Miles':
Today I was subjected to, by far, the most cruel lineup of exams, ever, on earth, ever, in history, ever: European history document-based-question, followed by calculus cumulative multiple-choice and open-ended midterm, followed by an easy but hulking Latin translation and four billion mundane questions. Okay, it wasn't so bad, but it was no picnic, either. Mrs. Stanca didn't even let us read or talk once we had finished, with the result that I had to sit and stare at my paper for 50 minutes or so. Once a bitch, always a bitch, what I say.
And this is from Joel's
Rutgers academic challenge this weekend. Woo-hoo. I just hope we suck as much as I think we do, so that way we get eliminated quickly and painlessly, and therefore we have no more practices.
My mom's in West Virginia until the middle of next week, so I have the house to myself most of the time. Par-tay. Oh, yeah, that's right, I don't host parties. But if I did, this would be a perfect week to do so. There still are benefits to my mom being out, though, like getting subs for dinner tonight. Score.
And then there's their friend Matt who's been writing about Robin...
You want a fast course in the side of your nephew's life that never comes up at family get-togethers? It's right here...

Teen blogs are some of the most insightful places to stumble across occasional jewels. Matt's blog had "Did you know that the internet watches you while you sleep? It's true..." Up at the top. And we all know it is true. ;)
BTW, I've converted over to MT and updated on the blog here. Welcome home David.

Just when we thought blogs were "coming of age" and becoming "influential" (oops! been influence by the "earlier" "story") we are reminded about the banal monologue that is a teenager's life, or rather, the journal about their life.
Sigh... sets Joi Ito's drive towards emergent democracy via blogs, etc. back 50 years... that's internet years... :)

Jeez, I didn't find the teenage blogs banal in the dismissive sense. I think they're articulate and fascinating. Also sometimes hilarious.

I am vernon. I want to start a band of my own. I sing and play the guitar. I am looking for someone who can sing well and anyone who can play the organ. I like to sing pop songs. I plan on also playing many songs but only instrumental songs. If there is anyone please do join in.

Just as I abhor the moral depravity of our nation with pop-culture, safe-sex, abortion, idolatry, witchcraft... so if you don't wake-up, that's your problem. Heard of Jesus? The Last Judgment? My URLs gotta lotta tips2help: Make a decent confession, preferably at a Catholic church --- If you can't see the vast, self-evident-reality of Heaven and Hell after this Finite Existence, may God Almighty have mercy on your indelible soul.
