So, this is blogging, huh?

It's one in the morning, almost one thirty. It's hot and I can not sleep. I won't try. I have decided to try blogging. I've never been interested in technology and this is not the start of an interest in it. I do not know how often I will use this, or what I will use it for. I imagine no one will read this anyway. No one wants to read my thoughts. I'm sure people want to read my thoughts as much as I want to read theirs, and that's not at all. But, it doesn't matter.

I'm told this will replace the news and newspapers. Blogging, that is. Every time I talk to someone, they ask me "so what are you majoring in?", and I tell them "Journalism with an emphasis is newspaper writing." Every person I say that to feels the need to tell me about the death of the newspaper. All I can think is 'thanks for undermining everything I am doing in college.' But, I don't imagine this is the type of blog that will replace the New York Times. It may eventually be self-defeating to keep a blog and write for newspapers, but I hear a lot of people do that. I guess I don't really want to write for newspapers anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Welcome to my pointless, pointless blog.

I wonder if I can delete all of this someday. It doesn't matter.
