But then again, no one cares about my blog! It's my therapy, and no body else need apply!
Why do people blog? Do they want to be heard (I like to be heard). I wonder if that many people's opinions really matter? Do we want to use big words (i like big words), or possibly not? It is a way to display intelligence or shall i say, lack thereof? Or is it that we want memories documented and archived for all posterity? It is an awfully convenient and colorful way to put our best face forward and prove once and for all that you have in fact, far superseded the Jones!
I think a great blog would be, on second thought, never mind. No One Cares!
And why do we post weird stuff on facebook?... Like "I'm so heart broken...blah blah, sniff sniff." I do like a good family feud in the news feed- status updates, it is much better than ridiculous political rhetoric i hear incessantly.
And YouTube, now there's an interesting concept. Who ever thought to put on the world wide web, instructions on things like: purging, how to make a bomb, self harm, and let's not leave out, tattooing with a needle AT HOME?!
I think i'll just stop. Here.
Lori, I love your blog. I came across it accidently through your Phazes Salon site. I haven't had the courage to start a blog, but I think it's a great place to record family stuff. I don't have Facebook, because it's nothing but drama. I get a lot of pressure from others to join, but I do't have a desire. I'd rather talk with someone over the phone or face-to-face.
ReplyDeleteThanks anon! Be brave, you have nothing to lose. As for fb, ya you can laugh at the drama and just not participate. I do know one thing, I have at least some connection with aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews that I would never have otherwise. It has officially confirmed for me that weirdness is a family inherited disease!
ReplyDeleteI must ask myself this same question every time I post "why do I blog?" I still don't know, maybe I believe it brings me closer to The Red One. Maybe it's an escape? Maybe I'm just crazy...probably that's it! No matter what the answer, I'm certainly glad you are keeping it up!
