So what is this 'blogging" thing?

So what is this"blogging" thing?

So I have to admit, I never got it.  What the hell does any one person have to say that is so damn important?  And what makes them so much more important than me?

I have friends who blog on MySpace, and it is usually to call someone out, free therapy, or to be grateful to all of us who actually read the things.  Do they know that we only read them because we are nosey ? We are only looking for dirt or just to make sure they are not trash talking us.  It seems a way to continue to be a 14 year old girl for the rest of your life!

So why am I blogging?  Couldn't tell you.  I have another friend who started her own blog and I went out of my way to look at it.  I was actually interested.  Imagine that.  It's not like I don't see her and talk to her everyday, hell, we even secretly plot the demise of evil-doers and cads!  The point is she is funny.  Twisted and demented, just like me.  I thought to myself, "self, I am funny, too!"  Then I got it.  The sky did not open up, there was no flash of lightning or choir of angels, it is simply that "community" thing.  I have spent the last 13 years of my life assisting people in becoming integrated in their communities, to show individuals and communities that there are similarities between all of us that bind us together.  Well Damn!  You'd have thunk that this would not have been such a difficult concept.  I was accused today of thinking too concretely.  She might have been right.

So here I am, blogging.  Will there be trash talking, dirt, and gratitude?  Likely.  But you all are my own little community, welcome to my world.
