blogging about blogging.


"blogging: never have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few."
-(i wish i knew where that quote originally came from.)
i think good blogs are hard to come by. anyone can create a blog, but it takes someone special to be a blogger. blogging is so much more than some sort of online diary; you have to write about something that people care about. no one cares what you had for breakfast. a successful blogger is someone who writes something intelligent and relatable on a regular basis, not someone who rambles on about their life and how much it sucks. you can't just randomly sit down at your computer and type feverishly about your day. it takes a blogger to write a good blog.
i'm not one of those people. i'm not a good blogger at all. i blog--in this case--because my teacher tells me to. but honestly, a bunch of high schoolers talking about their teenaged lives...every once in a while you get something good. but in general, it's not the greatest reading material.
oh yeah, and i'd be a lot more comfortable blogging if i didn't know that all my classmates and my english teacher were going to read it. it just makes me feel weird. like i have to censor things.
