Blogging

What is a blog? Well, we know the word "blog" is a shortening of the word "weblog." What is the purpose of a weblog? Logging things away... on the web? 

Is a blog a place for one to rant? To post his feelings? Evaluate a new product on the market? I'm sure a lot of people would say yes to all of the above.

What else is a blog for?

Do people post on their blogs with the express idea that they want to be read? Or is it a personal thing--posting mainly for their own enjoyment? 

I bet a lot of people would also say it's probably a little bit of both. I wonder what the format of a blog is supposed to be. Is it supposed to be like a well written essay, with a beginning, middle, end, and thesis? Or can it just be ramblings? I also wonder to myself if it's supposed to sound professional or if it can just be those random colloquial mumblings that I think to myself on a daily basis...

Guess I can make it a little bit of both. That's the beauty of a blog... I can make it whatever the heck I want to make it. What a beautiful life.

I love spring break.
