true blogging

have you ever found yourself walking down the street, pushing the best baby in the world, and your mind wanders to the idea "what should i blog about?" as i caught myself, this thought begs the question, "who is blogging for?" is it a cathartic experience for the writer, meaning you are released to write whatever is in you at the minute (even if your friend says, "your blog depresses me") or is to impress your readership? is it to share clever insight, and up your image, or is it to pull out what's in you so you can learn more about yourself?

or you think of something you want to put out there, work through, whatever, but then you are like "ooh, what clever title can i use?". or worse yet, you have a great title, then you're like "what would i say about that?"

do not use the words "dialogue" or "conversation" in your comments or i promise i will figure out how to ban you from my blog site!

YOu are right, yours is the best baby in the world...and so is mine. LOL I think blogging is a way of releasing your thoughts for anyone who cares to see them. How often do people give their opinion and no one in the rooms acts as if they care? When you blog you are putting it out there in case someone cares but you have no high hopes. You are just content you put it out there. As you can see from my blog, only my sister seems to read it and I have already called her and told her everything I am about to blog. Go figure.

I used to think nobody ever checked out my blog, but recently found out that a whole stack of people have checked it out. Now I have a ton more pressure to say things that are meaningful. And since the things I think deep about are half the time not what everyone else does, I guess I use it as a tool to help me be better thinker and articulater of those thoughts.

And I think I'm awesome and want to allow the world a chance to basque in my awesomeness.
