A curious phenomenon, these blogs are.
A curious phenomenon, these blogs are. Millions of individuals chattering more or less to themselves, and somehow they find readers. I am a straggler. I saw the bandwagon go by and thought, “Humph, what do I need that for? It’s just a silly fad.” Little did I know that, in the end, the silly one would be me.
Bloggers have to have some inflated sense of self, at least just a little bit. I have something to say! I think others should read about it! I’m going to go ahead and splatter my thoughts all over the web because it’s good readin’ dammit!
And now here I am, curious about blogs, and starting one myself. It’s been years since I kept a diary. Not since college really. I still have that thing. Lots of immature prattling in various shades of ink. Likely entertaining only to myself.
So maybe that’s really the ultimate goal of these blogs. To amuse oneself. Even if not a single soul deems mine worthy of their time, at least I’ll be entertained. And that’s pretty much the most important thing, isn’t it? See? Inflated sense of self. That’s me. It’s all about me!
