I'll talk, you listen...or don't, it's whatevs


It hasn’t been hard to write blog posts. When you don’t have the pressure of needing to construct a formal essay and double check your grammar, it’s much easier just to write. It makes it even easier when there is little research involved and you don’t have to cite sources. The main source is YOU! Blog posts are a great place for YOUR thoughts and feelings and opinions.  
Blogs are awesome, and if you had asked me that a month ago I probably would have said something completely opposite. They’re refreshing. On a Facebook profile anyone can post on your page and share what’s on their mind (even if it’s a silly YouTube video, it counts). And really I shouldn’t say thoughts; Facebook is the land of Happy Birthday’s, relationship updates, and those statuses that outline the activities of the day. And if someone was to post a status longer than a few lines about an actual subject, people would just ignore it or get annoyed. Which is fine, Facebook isn’t the place for that, blogs are. On my blog I get to post whatever I want and I don’t have to worry about a billion responses. Everyone on Facebook creeps (stop denying it) and Facebook makes it really easy too. Blogs don’t have as much traffic (at least not the everyday person’s blog); the only people who read it are the ones who took the time to search for it (or are required to). And as I see it, I don’t really mind if anyone reads it. It’s fun to get comments, but just being able to post ramblings about what’s important to you at any moment of any day is fun.
            I don’t know if I have earned the title of “blogger” yet but I do enjoy it.

  1. I was waiting for the bunny connection in your post. I guess it's that "On my blog I get to post whatever I want and I don’t have to worry about a billion responses." Blogs are bunny-photo friendly.
