i think now that i have a blog this whole "internet" thing is really going to take off. al gore better pay up.
there are millions of people out there whose blogs their own mothers would rather puke on than read. i hope this causes no nausea, at least not to my mother.
the whole idea of a blog is a little odd. i mean, why bother? it doesn't pay the bills. it doesn't make you a better lover. at least, as far as i can tell. so far.
i think we blog because we have a need to be heard. blogging is a conversation in which the other person has to just sit there and listen to you. enthralled. it's a chance to have the conversation on our terms. we get to talk about exactly what we want to talk about.
i think blogging serves as a kind of affirmation that one's thoughts count; that one's life counts. we get a chance to define ourselves to others not by what we do for a living, but by what we think is important enough to write about.
