What the hell personal blogs?

Have you noticed that like half the blogs that exist in the vast, mad-max-ish expanse that is the internet are overly and overtly personal? why? anonymity, obviously. Now don't take this as some pseudo-intellectual bullshit, it not, at least not intentionally. The thing about the anonymity that spurs some to reveal too much is that it can also be used to entertain. who? who gives a damn. writing this entertains me, hopefully the reader. now some will inevitably argue that this anonymity is absent in those who use their real name, but none of this overly personal information is revealed in person, you don't see the look in someones eyes when they hear what you say, you don't have to deal with their responses, you can wait and mete out retaliation accordingly. again, this isn't saying i'm against putting a little 'you' into what you write, just do it creatively...covertly, like a ninja. now...valentines day...ugh. Valentines Day: or, the commercialized cash grab that exploits romance every fucking year. You obviously can't celebrate your feeling on any other day with anything but a [insert product here]. Fuck off.
I mean,
celebrating the l-word (not lesbian) should happen everyday. Really. in fact, i think next year i'm just going to commemorate st. valentine two calendar days earlier and later than i'm "supposed to". And i'll even *gasp* do it without material gifts (maybe flowers, but i mean, who doesn't love to get flowers) maybe i'll write a poem or a song, or cook dinner. As you may have noticed i just figured out how to italicize things. Also i like zombieChops idea of signing off...(out?).
