Hello fellow bloggers!
So here I am again, writing another blog. Funnily enough that is the segway into what I will be writing about tooooooday.
Ok, so on with the show! A fellow blogger by the name of Josh (you can find a link to his blog somewhere... not quite sure where.) posted an entry in his blog posing a question "why are we compelled to blog?". Now, I thought it was a very interesting entry that he wrote. particularly one segment:
Maybe we find blogs a way to express ourselves, similar to a diary, yet with the feeling that someone else will read our words.
I agree with this, and because I did, I wrote a comment for that entry. I'm going to elaborate on my comment.
To elaborate on my comment I feel one must first go slightly off topic. Now as we men all know, and as much as we dislike this, females are the head honcho in the family. They rule the nest. No matter what. So, why is it that when females tell men to put the toilet seat down...men leave it up anyway? Surely the man would listen to what the female has to say. Put simply, the reason for this, is that the man is using what ever authoritive power he has left and uses it as best he can, ie: leaving the toilet seat up is a display of dominance and says to the female "you can't control all of me".
Back on topic now. This same principle applies with blog writing, maybe not in the same context as a "male/female relationship" but in the context of, we are using whatever power we have left to write down our free thoughts, the thoughts that have not been warped and twisted by the media or our parents, or any authority figure we have in our society. Also, as a point Josh made in reply to my comment, when we are told to do something, we...of course... don't want to do it. For example, writing an essay, it seems that I'm not the only one that leaves it 'till the last day huh? We do not want to do the assignment, not because its hard or the topic is boring, but because we were told that we have to do it. Blog writing, on the other hand is something we are not pressured into doing. Thus, we don't feel the need to defy that authority figure we have wanted to defy since time began. And we can also write WHATEVER we want... and that makes it interesting for alot of people to read.
Another thing which I won't touch on today (maybe another day) is human curiosity... the "be in the know" aspect of life.
So I hope that got you all thinking :)
'Till next time bloggers!
Keep it real!
