What exactly is the point of blogging? Expressing views and opinions, that's great and everything, but I have this theory that the majority of those who blog just... don't actually have views or opinions.
Well I'm sure they do, but they never share them on their blog. At least not the substantial ones. It's always "Kate Winslet is gorgeous!" or "The Royal Wedding will be fantastic!" Most people never talk about anything actually substantial and beneficiary in their blogs, which is actually kind of sad.
So why then do people blog? I have a theory. People want attention. They want other people to care about their lives. And if other people don't, in fact, care, they at least want to feel as though those people do.
The human race is wildly codependent. We need constant love and care, reminders that there are others just like us out there, that we're never alone. So naturally, we want someone to worry about our deepest fears, desires, and everyday occurrences. We expect people to want to know that we went to the store and bought a loaf of bread, three packs of batteries, and a stick of deodorant, yet at the same time we know that no one wants to listen to that lousy of a story. So we flock to our blogs, embellish a little, and give a play out of our day. Hmmm... I've decided that's what blogs are. Outlets for our daily stories that we so desperately want someone to care enough to listen to.
Oh well... Now that I've spewed my thoughts, on to my day. Community theater auditions with my friend Alex and boyfriend Ty=Amazing. We had so much fun. And then this boy decided to teach us all about doing the Thriller dance. Not too eventful of a day, but all in all, good? Better than the last.
