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.

If blogging is going to replace newspapers, which I doubt will happen anytime soon, then you are on the right track my friend. Keep blogging, there are a lot of folks out there that like to read it. I think it's like reality news, only it's not news, it's just another form of "reality tv"
This is what the world has come to .... Reality Yatta Yatta Bla Bla Bla
Peace Out!
