Wow! I can't believe I have finally entered the blogosphere. It's all so new to me. My head is in a blog ... er, I mean a fog ... and I don't know where to start. So maybe I will just tell you what I like and don't like about blogs.
I like blogs because they give me something to do when I get tired of SecondLifing, text messaging, MSNing, facebooking, MySpacing, downloading, e-mailing (remember that?) - you know, when there's like nothing else to do but stare at your laptop and read other people's personal diaries - it sort of fills a void in the virtual reality that I live in (yeah, I know .. a preposition is not something you should end your sentence with ... oops, i did it again ... ). Blogging is a metaphor for .... a metaphor for ... actually it's not a metaphor but it's still nice.
What I don't like about blogging is that blogs are by definition unlimited and unrestrained. When you are standing in front of your teacher or mother or whoever is bugging you at the moment, you may not say certain things that you want to say (although you're thinking them) but then a late at night, in front of the 'puter, you can blog away with totally unbridled free association, writing whatever it was that social graces and whatever shame the world still has prevented you from saying earlier. And that, my fellow blog-ites, is the danger of blogging ... limits are a good idea sometimes.
When I first heard about blogs and what they were, I immediately told my friends that blog is actually an acronym for two Hebrew words - Bli Gevul - without limits.
Anyway, enough out of me for now. I am all blogged out (-;
