Blogging on Blogging

So, I've been thinking a lot about blogging lately. I spend a lot of time thinking about lots of things and my problem is I spend too much time thinking and not enough time acting. If I spent as much time exercising as I think about the fact I should be exercising, I'd be 15 lbs. thinner.

But I digress...So what I've been thinking about blogging is this: Is it totally self absorbed???? The answer I find is no. There are some blogs I read for the information. Like the WAJ blog by Sue Smith. Very informative. And I really like reading my friends blogs b/c I love to know what's going on in their lives and unlike when we were teen agers, I don't have hours to spend on the phone hearing all the details. So, blogs allows them to share and me to see the details of their lives that I might otherwise miss. So, in all I like blogging.

Yet, I still struggle with feeling self absorbed when I write. And then there are all the blogging annoyances. Such as - where to blog?? I have a blog on myspace which I use sometimes:
www.myspace.com/gertie77 but I don't know if this site or another site would get better traffic. And do I really need to care about traffic. I guess I need to let people know where to find me if I want them to read my blog. Otherwise, it really doesn't matter much. Another annoyance I have is that WindowsLive is so annoying in the fact that to comment on someones blog you are required to have an account with them. ANNOYING!!! Anyway...that's about all I have to say about that.

All in all, blogging is good. Gets out the gunk in my mind. Lets me drain the bucket where all the thoughts swirl together so that I can distill them and finally pause for a moment to have one cohesive thought. Hopefully.

So, blog on, bloggers. Blog on.
