My Beef with the blogs

So I admit it, I have been anti-blog for a long time. It can seem impersonal... you can be in on others' lives and do so without ever having to pick up the phone and actually take time out of your day and call someone. Instead of giving someone your precious attention, your drop a line on their blog, facebook or my space and go about your day.

BUT, in the last few weeks it dawned on me, that blogs may have been invented by a stay at home mom who remembers that she may have been a decent writer at some point in time. Maybe she had something to say that three year olds could care less about. Maybe she needed to 'dump' mentally, get things off her chest. Who knows...she could be just like me.

So, I swallow my old-fashioned pride and do it. Here I am with a blog. Holy crap. My 92 year old great-grandfather has email (and uses it) so I guess I have no excuse for not having a blog!
