On Changing Times
I just found out that one of my friends with two kids has a blog. I don't know why, but I find that strange. I started my old lj in high school. I've had this one since what, my freshman year of college? I guess in my head, blogging has always been the way I get things out when I'm frustrated. I know that there are professional "bloggers" and stuff like that, but I dunno, in my head, parents don't blog. lol "Not on my friend's list!"
I've resigned myself to having married people on there. I have no problem with married people... but parents? That's weird. I have no idea why, but it is. I have nothing against parents either. I can imagine having kids would be all the more reason to sit for a minute, decompress, and type out some frustration. I mean geez. They're better people than I am, really. I can't even begin to imagine how much work goes in to taking care of kids. It just confuses me.
I think maybe its just a culture clash thing, since for me, a blog has been a part of my adolescence, and now, sort of, into adulthood... I just always associated it with being a young, dumb, and confused kid trying to figure things out. Now i've got to make room in my head for the fact that I have friends raising young, dumb, confused kids. (Don't be offended by that people. We're all young, dumb, and confused.)
Regardless, it's eye opening, and again, I have nothing against people with kids. Just don't ever expect me to give up condoms, the pill, or plan b, to join the ranks of you strange folk and give the gift of another citizen to the American Empire.
That was a joke!
