Blogging - Quick thoughts...

Overall, I like Blogging. Both sides of it actually. I like that I have a place where I spew thoughts that other people can see and comment on. And I like that I have friends who spew their thoughts that I can read and comment on. It opens a window into others lives that I think is really cool. I find that I share things in my blog that I wouldn't bring up in normal conversation, let alone initate contact with someone just to express.

On the other hand, it is only a projection, and a pretty weak one at that. If I'm going through a significant crisis in my life, I'm not going to post it in my blog. And a silent blog could mean a crisis or just an abundance of life.

But overall I appreciate being able to reach out to some friends and just give a gentle shout-out, "Hey, I'm thinking about you". And I think most people could use more of that.
