As a friend once told me.. if you are going to start a blog you have to know HOW to blog. He said you should talk about your audience to keep them interested..
I'm not a blogger.. i find the name funny though.
But I enjoy writing.. and I love talking about myself.. hence my decision to blog.. and blog i will
To follow the advice of my friend:
To my audience. I'm sure you are all amazing people.. with extremely dull lives since you have time and the inclination to read this far into my blog.
and now a question for you:
There are approximately 6.5 billion people on this planet. What makes you special? Is there someone exactly like you? Can one person REALLY make a difference? And one last question: "All the lonely people... where do they all come from?" (thank you mr. lennon)
Its insane.. how can anyone feel detached or lonely when there are 6.5 billion people! and at least one of them probably feels exactly the same about the world as you do. And what with TV, facebook, msn, myspace, text msging, cell phones, emails, etc etc etc.. how can you feel disconnected at all?! But it happens.. and for some reason the more you are able to communicate and the easier it gets to connect with people it seems that more and more people feel detached, disconnected and alone. When all of a sudden a computer or cell phone breaks its like a death in the family.. I almost cried when my computer wouldn't start.. and then I didn't know what to do without the easy access to people and information.
But the strangest thing I think is how much people love cottages and camping and skiing and all those outdoor things.. its like everyone needs to get away from it. Our brains need a rest from the constant bombardment of information.
The best times I have are sitting on a dock at a cottage with nothing but nature sounds. and friends..
Basically, I think the reason for all the loneliness is the ability to talk to people without being with people. If we couldn't use cell phones and computers, we would spend more time actually being with our friends and family.
So it may sound like I'm against instant communication.. But clearly I'm not.. I have a laptop, desktop PC and a cellphone.. And I would mourn the death of each of them.
As for my other question "How can ONE person make a difference?".. I'll leave that for the next blog :)

Insightful, it almost seems like you're peering not only into your minds but the minds of your friends/readers.
Honestly, good job, just make sure you don't stray off and talk about yourself too much :P You can learn a lot about yourself/a person from what you/they blog about and the whole way you/they blog too.
