I recently read the article on what makes a good blog.
And to my findings, I now feel that what this person [the author of the article] sees a good blog as another form of gaining personal interest from other people. When I develop a blog, I treat it as another form of expressing myself. Without a doubt, I could honestly care less about the impact that I'm making on other people and have no aspirations or ambitions in hoping that this blog will influence another person to be like "Hey, I TOTALLY WANNA BLOG NOW CAUSE I MEAN ITS THE COOL NEW THING AND ITS A HIP FAD"
I have a way of contradicting with myself though. I have a facebook, myspace, friendster, xanga, you name it. But why do i have this? Well, like what was said in the article, "Good blogs make you want to start your own blog." I would totally have to agree. I got a Myspace back in middle school because it looked cool. It MADE me want to join the network and start telling people about myself. But now days, the whole social networking thing is getting way to large for me to keep up with. Before, we had facebook. Now, we have Twitter.
I don't care. I just don't. I do what i do to do what i gotta do to do yeah...
I'm losing my train of thought. So I'm going to go back to being sick and watch lifetime all day.
thank you.

I really enjoy the visual of your blog. Your writing is artistic not just by what you say, but what you create for the reader to see. I like your contradictions about the nature of blogging and online networking. There is an appeal, but an illusion, a level of privacy and also a level of showpersonship. Ah, the intricacies.
