Surviving My Life

Introspective

Here it is. 4:30 in the morning. I can't sleep.

There I am, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling when a thought comes to me. Why do we blog? What is the point of blogging? Does it accomplish any goals?

To me, there are two groups of bloggers. Those that do it just to relieve stress and see what they're thinking in writing, and those that use it as a form of communication. Of course, if nobodys reading it, then you must not be communicating it all that well.

Me, I'm part of the first group. I could care less if someone else randomly finds this page on the internet. Although, I did spend an inordinate amount of time making the template on here just so I could be an individual. Hmmm...maybe I was thinking that someone might visit.

So - what's the point? Why do we do this? I mean, technically, if you want to have a conversation on a topic, there are forums all across the internet to do so. Wouldn't that be easier?

It also seems to me that now everybody's got one of these. Of course, being who I am, I hate going to the GAP, or Old Navy simply because everyone else does it. I've never wanted to be like everyone else - now I'm starting to.

I've also come across blogs of people that I know. And, it was through use of the "Next Blog" button that I used to have on my site. (It's hidden now.) It's interesting what people write, especially when you know them.

I've also noticed that my generation has a serious problem with capitalization, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I mean, come on - is it really that hard to take an extra five minutes just to make sure that other people can read what you wrote?

Sheesh. One blog I came across was two pages long, and one run-on sentence. Jeepers. I realize that on paper you don't have to take a breath, but it's much easier to read when you don't have to guess where someone's ramblings cease and the next one starts.

In any case, seeing as I spent all this time on this thing making it look snazzy again, I might as well keep doing it.

*sigh*

Hello crowd. Been a long time since I followed you.
