zenn bites...

blogo-vomit.

there has been a whole whirl of activity going on this week, what with people playing detective and digging out truths/lies behind better-known names in the blogosphere.

it amuses me to no end, how people actually bother to waste spend time on piecing together "evidence" and making such a big hoo-haa out of rather superficial things. it's human nature perhaps, to see the so-called downfall of the so-called pretty and famous, to give the lowdown, to unearth the not-so-glamorous past.

it's all very interesting, yes, and definitely fodder for conversation. be it true or not, i kinda like seeing a beautiful face more than a not-so-aesthetically-pleasing one. and who's not always trying to make themselves look better anyway?

everyone's got a "before" that we're not too proud of - embarrassing childhood photos, horrifying fashion faux pas, maybe even dirty little secrets that have been buried under mounds of edited memories.

we live, we learn.

that said, i did have loads of fun bitching about a certain princess who's so completely bubbled up in her little bleedin' lalaland. harsh though it may sound, i just find it totally disgusting how she so blatantly shows off her supposed riches and brains, looks and *gasp* can i even call it, love?

a green-eyed monster speaking? i don't think so. i may not have everything, but i think i can consider myself rather contented with what i've got right now.

it all boils down to respect, i guess. how much respect you've got for the people around you, the people you love and used to love, and especially, for yourself.

i may be biased, of course. and it might be coz i kinda know some of the parties involved in the whole tale that this drama queen has been spinning.

some may say the usual "why go read if it so disgusts you?". i guess i'm the curious cat who's contentedly licking the cream off my whiskers each time she manages to top herself.

and yes i know that it's her blog and she can do whatever she so wishes to. but she's blogging for a vast audience, unlike little ole me who's just blogging for friends and for keeps coz i've got the memory of a fish.

ah well, my name is zenn and i am a noseypoker. *hangs head in shame*

everything on the internet's to be taken with a pinch of salt i guess. and maybe that's the way it should be with life in general, for one side of the truth may jolly well turn out to be the shaded face that masks what's real.

or perhaps, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
