Thanksgiving was fine, we had lasagne.
I was thinking this morning about blogs in general. They are very strange, on one side they are pure vanity... and on the other side they are just the opposite of that. I see blogs that are simply a way of venting, and have nothing to do with how cool the writer is. Blogs generally deal with very personal issues, yet they are displayed for the world to see. What causes us to do this? Do 10 year old girls have locks on their diaries for a reason? Why do we just throw caution to the wind when we talk about things in such a public forum. Anonmity? I doubt it. Anyone with half a wit could figure out who you are if they really wanted to. If you have a domain it's even easier. Blogs are just weird.
Why do I blog? Honestly I don't know. I guess a lot of it is that I've always had a website, but never really had content. With a blog I can have new content every single day. It may get boring and droll, but it is new... I guess it's also a way to vent, express to someone how I'm feeling without the inconvenience of telling someone face to face. I can tell all my friends how I feel without having to be anywhere near them. It's sort of comforting really, to have people who know you without ever having to tell them anything. Well, that's my two cents for the day.
