THE ACT OF BLOGGING

I am currently writing an essay on the act of blogging. There are a million blogs out there, many of them completely self-referential (including mine) and others that really do provide food for thought. Blogging, however, has become increasingly banal.

Remember a time when we used to read blogs and be amazed at how much we learn't about the blogger and all the new things that they experienced. Now, however, with social networking sites, instant messaging and entire biographies mapped out through the virtual world: this act of knowing someone or their view of things has become so commonplace that the act of blogging is increasingly seen as 'ordinary' rather that something that commands our 'awe.'

So where is blogging heading: a downward spiral into oblivion or is still a case and point for citizen journalism?

Hmmm

Looks like someone out there just wished me well. Like that Wen guy, I s'pose, we are the masters of our own destiny.

I NEED SOME GOOD LUCK

I need an internship. No one wants to reply. If they reply, it's bad news. And everything else is piling up, I just need somethings to go my way. AHHHH!
I want a lucky penny so I can go home.

Bitchiness


I say bitchy things and people call me bitchy, but does that make me a 'Bitch'? I always differentiate between bitchiness and 'Bitch (es)': Bitches have bad intentions at heart and act on them and bitchiness is just the darker side in all of us, you express it yet but you never truly act on it - not all that much anyways. But if that definitions holds true, I don't know why I feel so offended at being called bitchy.

Topic of the Day: Baking and Blogging

I never blog. No one reads this blog. Why?
I say it's because of the lack of time - on my part and everyone elses.

Yet there's this chick Victoria - an unknown person who isin my net comm class and someone I've personally fallen in love with mainly due to this blog - who seems to have time to not only blog but bake as well. So here's my plan for a complete life makeover:

- Blog more
- Become interesting so I have more to blog about
- Read more
- Learn how to bake and knit and be a baking/blogging/knitting/intellectual superstar
