The blog called Enthralling Boredom starts with this sub-head, “Read My Articles, Become A Better Lover, Lower Your Rates, And Add 1-3 Inches To Your… ” Right away you know the person writing this blog has a sense of humor (and receives spam). The author is an 18-year-old Yale freshman named Sean. Sean lived in Cleveland until starting college in the Fall of 2004. His blog has been active since June.
I enjoyed reading Sean’s posts, especially Academy Award Snubs, Squirrels Gone Wild and Rah-Rah for Ramen. My favorite headline is “If You Use an Artificial Christmas Tree, the Terrorists have Already Won.” And I admit, I love any 18-year-old who is as maddened by bad grammar and misspelled words as I am.
I spent a great deal of time at Sean’s blog, primarily because it was a good read and made me chuckle on occasion. I think his writing is above-par and hope that he gets more readers as he goes through college. While Sean submitted his sight as “Humor,” it truly belongs in the Personal category. Even as humorous as his posts are–on everything from PETA to people use annoying Internet abbreviations–the posts are still in the personal blog vein. Enthralling Boredom
