Reaffirmation of the Blog

I started this blog because I was upset at textamerica for shutting down the mobile blog that I started a while back. It was all pictures from my cell phone (at that time pretty terrible quality pics) and none of them really mattered but it was fun to look back to what you did a couple months earlier and see how important things at the moment change so quickly.

I was without a place to post my phone pictures for a good while until I was sitting around bored on the internet like usual and realized I could not look back, I could not see what I saw 3 months earlier, and so i felt like I cannot have that reassuring feeling that things pass. I then realized that I enjoy looking back so I can reposition for the future. I already had gmail and I assume Google isn't going anywhere for a long time (and won't back stab like textamerica). so I made Blogger my new home.

Posting pictures from my phone is the main reason for coming here. I give the links out to my friends and they can see what kinds of things I have been doing when they are bored, just as I would do. That was all that I set this account up for.

If you go to the archives of this blog you can see that a majority of the early posts are pictures with an occasional writing in it. Up until September 27th that is what I used this for until I made a realization. I like my old thoughts just as much as i like my old pictures.

I don't reread my posts often, in fact i don't think i have reread any of my posts in this blog. But it is reassuring that one day i can.

After i post a new entry i usually skip around blogger to see what i can find. I find random peoples blogs and read a couple entries to see what is going on with a complete stranger, I think that is fun. I hope other people have read this, people who I don't know, and just checked it out. I found a couple people's blog that I read on a regular basis, I don't know them, but to be able to peek into someone else's life appeals to me.

I realize that last line sounds creepy but that doesn't make it untrue. To post your life so the whole world can read it is a dangerous yet liberating action. Obviously I have secrets that I won't post and things that don't need to be in the public arena. I think the people of the posts that I read do the same thing, that is half the fun, trying to figure out "why are they posting this?".

I like doing this, and I guess it helps that I have a boss who is relaxed enough for me to waste some of my free time banging on the keyboard.
