Blogging

You know what, I don't really understand the main purpose of blogging. So today, I'm going to make a list of the possible purposes. As a great teacher once said, "Making lists is a way of making sure you're still sane." I'm living proof of this. Yeah, right.

Purposes of Blogging


1. To let strangers friends into your personal life.
It's always good to keep your friends updated on what's happening in your ever-eventful life (especially for us almost teens). Especially if your friends are in the states or something. So I guess that's one good use for blogs. But beware people. Stalkers and hackers lurk these webs. *evil laugh* Honestly.

2. A form of self-expression.
Sometimes, us human beings *ahem ahem* just want to rant about our awful day and let everything out. And that's just another purpose of the blog. It's much more "hi-tech" than keeping a journal, and let's face it, who REALLY wants to spend time writing in an old notebook with any old pen when you can use a fancy LCD monitor and a keyboard? That's right, nobody does. :))

3. To get into the "in" crowd.
This might sound like a lame reason, but it's true. Blogging is becoming sort of a "fad", if I may say so. What kind of person sits around enjoying writing in any old journal while all her friends are on Blogger, or Multiply? Some strangely weird person, that's who (not that there's anything wrong with strangely weird people. Hehe).

4. To speak your mind out without revealing your identity.
The truth must be revealed: a lot of people trash their enemies (and sometimes, friends) through their blogs. And what's extremely convenient for them is that it's very easy to lie on the Internet about your identity and such. I bet you've read the word !@#! and ?&*#$ way too many times on the Internet. Alright, so this might not be a very NICE feature of blogs, but hey, it's MY list. >:)

5. To get rid of boredom.
Must I say more? :D


...So I've come to the conclusion that blogs are just something every person has a use for. Honestly. So get a blog today. *wink*

Eww. I sound like an ad. :))

God bless you guys, take care!

Also, so that if ever there was this day that you wrote about, and after 3 years, it turns out that that day was so important and you want to remember the date, you just have to go to your blog ^.^ And it is fun reading your life one year ago haha. Oh, and blogging will help you in your writing skills ;)

Actually i dont think blogging helps too mush in your writing skills becose you're allowed to spell stuff worng and use messed up grammar and stuff. Well i guess it also depends on what kind of a blogger you are. Like for me the words i type are the exact wordds i'm thinking. So yeah. But i like blogs because its a way of telling people what's going on with you. That's why i use multiply cuz only my contacts can se it ;)

Good point. But still, just the fact that you're using words to express your feelings or tell about your day is more helpful than just screaming into your pillow, or crying or saying "I had, like, the most, like, baddest day of my, like, life." :)) ...okay, so I'm exaggerating. But yeah, that's what I like most about blogs too, the whole "what's going on in my life" thing. :) thanks for the comment matt! God bless.
