Blogs

Blogs - the wonderful text input through HTML pages that allow people that either are feeling over self-important or woefully impotent get to express themselves and make themselves feel useful and, if someone reads their blog, important to others.

I don't know if that would apply necessarily to all blog users. The ones that write about their personal, day-to-day lives it most certainly would - nobody cares that you had three pieces of toast, but only two had your favorite raspberry jam on it because you ran out with a glass of milk. The ones that write out their thoughts on a subject, on the other hand, tend to have a little bit better reason to write - to express a viewpoint on an important subject matter that may not have been explored in such a fashion, or to get feedback on a to-be-published-in-the-future literary work.

It sure feels like I am justifying the reason I am writing, doesn't it, beyond the scope of trying to make myself feel important to others, like my opinion or thoughts matter? I don't care, truly, if anyone else reads my blog - I just like having a place to record my thoughts that has more data redundancy than I can do myself - internet archiving.
