the problem with america isn't blogging... least last time i checked it wasn't that.
Well, it's been a really long time since I posted... Yeah, and I don't have much to say about that really. It didn't feel like home to post here, so I didn't. I'm not sure that it does now, but I think that I feel like I'm reclaiming some space. Space that wasn't really "lost" I suppose, but space that I felt didn't fit. It does. It's like snakeskin this... It's not the same, it never will be, but it's mine all the same. As such, it does fit, and that's a good feeling.
Not much that I feel like reporting really... Things are good. Wow that looks really pointless, but that's alright :) I don't feel like blogging all the miniscule details. I'm still trying to figure out a heck of a lot of stuff. But it's positive for the most part, which is pretty good.
Issue I have been pondering (self centered as usual. no surpise there.): Issue centered blogs. It seems like everyone and his or her sibling has an issue related blog (as in: jane schmo has a blog on foreign policy and how it relates to widget-engineering and her brother Joe Schmo has a blog on the joys of cheesemaking and then cheese eating.)
Now, my dilemma. Do I want one? Some days I feel like being ranty girl, but I'm not sure I have the desire to produce a decent blog, and really if Jane and Joe and millions of others have these blogs, I'm not really sure I need to help the internet get filled with even more opinions.
It's not that I think mine is less worthy than others... Really, I just am not sure I feel like driving a stake into Internetland that declares, "MY OPINIONS HERE! READ THEM YOUS PEOPLES!" Then again, maybe this is because I got tired of the "blogosphere" about an hour after it was created. :/
Personal journals and communities I can be okay with... I really do want to know people. I guess I'm okay leaving opinions to those who fully back them up (and there are blogs that *do* do this. some are well researched which is honorable of them. good for the good bloggers.) and to the op-ed pages of good papers or to scholarly journals.
