intrigue
this is officially my first post, and strangely, i feel like it is not me who is typing these words.the idea of blogs is almost too expansive for me to comprehend. the act of imprinting my thoughts into a network that extends miles around the globe without any direction or intention of mine is a bit elusive. how can i maintain ownership on my thoughts? how do i know what is truely expressed from me, the real day-to-day me, and that i won't discover the dreaded pseudo-me who writes for selfish possibilities?
blogs have become more than personal megaphones, an open doorway swinging back and forth teasing passerbys to peak in and take a look at the crowd. now they're two-way streets between sellers and consumers. they're mirrors to the writers themselves, magnifying their obsessions, their flaws, their significant inconsistencies, and at moments, shine brilliance unexpectedly.
i wonder if blogging will affect my life. if my eye grows keener on instances and observations simply to be able to jot them down. and if i'll want to jot them down for the pleasure of remembering, or if there's a greater message i want to get across.

Just write for goodness sakes! But really...I never thought about that when I started my blog. I guess I'm too pragmatic sometimes, not as poetic and self-searching as you! My blog was utilitarian - a way for me to not have to write mass emails to friends, some of whom don't even want to read them. Anyway...godspeed on your blog-journey. I wanted to make a funny play on words but I couldn't think of anything. Oh, well.
This is a great avenue for your creative writing to develop - I enjoyed reading about a rather basic encounter that you turned into something speacial.
