"It is not proper to watch other people. This will not help your practice. If you are annoyed, watch the annoyance in your own mind. If others' discipline is bad or they are not good monks, this is not for you to judge. You will not discover widsom watching others. Monks' discipline is a tool to use for your own meditation. It is not a weapon to use to criticize or find fault. No one can do your practice for you, nor can you do practice for anyone else. Just be mindful of your own doings. This is the way to practice." -Ajahn Chah, "Bodhinyana"
Heh.

It wasn't meant as a dig. It was just an odd coincidence that my "daily Buddhist wisdom" made a weird kind of sense as a reply to your blog. All in fun. Also, we are not monks. But really, I don't have a blog because they would basically amount to "I bit the inside of my cheek today" and "I hate snow."
This is one of the main reasons why I don't post regularly... Some might say the I suck as a blogger...but I post when I feel a need to not just to post... Some day's it's like Ben's second comment... (which was great). Why post just to post...
I am not sure about posting just to post. However I will comment just to comment.
