First Blog

I have blogged! Yet another new way of communicating. Several people I know have recently started blogging. It's one of those things where it seems like everyone is doing it, so everyone does it. And then everyone really IS doing it. Two people who I told that I was starting a blog said that they had/ were going to start their own. And yes, I am fully aware that I too started because other people did.

It's like any new form of communication. Once you've discovered it, you realise what you were missing out on and suddenly, you can't live without it. Like texting, or MSN. Think about it. What would your life be like without those ways of communicating? I know I'd have lost a lot of friends by now, especially if I didn't have MSN.

Take Simon for example: http://www.darksidechaplaincy.blogspot.com If you look at his first post, he seems rather critical of the whole blogging thing. Yet more and more has he blogged, he just can't get enough!! Other people have said the same.

I fear that I may go the same way. You'll probably be hearing a lot more from me in the near future!
