As we begin a blog, we wonder as to the state of the blogging world.
Why do we blog?
Where do we blog?
What do we place in a blog?
Who blogs?
At least we know that the word has within an extremely short period of time become a part of our daily language. We know that the word can be used as both a verb and a noun. It can even be used as a description of a type of person (which we understand is technically a noun, but we decided to make the distinction). We know that some people have decided that this is a better way to share their lives.
This brings an interesting comment on globalization. This is another means by which the world gets smaller. First we had the telegraph, then the telephone, next the car, then the airplane, after that (it took a while) we had the internet, and now we have blogging. Now we can know what some random person around the world, or just halfway around the world is thinking. That person can tell us anything about their lives they feel like, and we can do the same. But it keeps it anonymous, we don't have to add them to any of our IM programs, we can just read about them. The critics of globalization would probably say as the world gets closer together, and we know more about other random human beings, we still keep our distance. But we are not sure it is really keeping our distance, it is more of a realization that every human being is "basically" going through what we ourselves are going through, and in that way they may not be that different from us.
Although we already understand the scientific principle that the only big difference between us is that amount of melanin in our skin. And within in religious context we have all been created by the same God (we also believe in the theory of evolution), so no real difference there. So we see that all the fighting that has gone on for the past 10,000 years has been for naught.
We apologize to those reading this text. We are of the mind to only use one space after a period. We understand that the proper method is two spaces, but we have just never been able to get used to the proper method.
We looked back on this blog and realized that it has gotten quite long. Most people will probably not even read it. But as we understand blogging isn't just for the other person, it seems to be almost therapeutic as well. Hey, this may be a way for people to avoid psychiatry (just write your thoughts and have people comment). By the way I am not doing a Tom Cruise and advocating the removal of psychiatrists from our system of healing.
We hope that you have enjoyed our first obtuse blog.
