Creating My Blog

It honestly seems like everyone has a blog these days. And even though they interested me, I never found an excuse to make one (because honestly, I couldn't see anyone wanting to read about my life). But luckily this class came along, and not only do I get to write in a blog but I get to write about things that are far more interesting than how I got my shoes dirty walking to class today, or how I ate a whole can of Pringles in one sitting. Creating the blog really couldn't have been easier, and I think that's a good thing. Someone shouldn't have to jump over numerous hurdles just to share what they want to say with other people, because you never know if what they have to say could change the world. Creating it, from my memory, was much easier than trying to create my Facebook, because there's a lot less you have to fill out about yourself. That anonymity might also be one of the reasons why blogs are so interesting. Being able to choose the URL for the blog was fun, it brought me back to the days of Myspace and I think it's a good way to draw readers in with a creative name (even though I didn't do that). Just like writing, I think blogging is a way that people can express themselves in a very precise and organized way, saying what they want to say in the best way possible. It's kind of like a lengthy status update on Facebook, except most people writing blogs actually have interesting things to say (zing!). Overall, I'm excited about this blog and I can't wait to start posting more and reading other people's entries.

Until next time,

Scott
