Blog Practice

How do I feel?

God I look like such a nerd. Blonde with glasses. Interesting seeing myself think as well. who would have thought I might be articulate in any way (except for a few verbal glitchs)


would I ever thought that I would feel comfortable putting myself and my opinions rather than a character out in the open? It scares me that I even think that way, being afraid of my own existence in the universe.

How would others feel?

I can certainly see the attraction of doing this for a form of excitement and/or career. When I usually think of the people who daily put themselves out their, expressing their opinions in a multitude of divers ways and contributing to the wealth of information out there a lot of the time I think that most of them are kind of wasting their time. When I do experience (because you can't just say read anymore) another persons opinion that I know is not based on an informed experience on the subject I generally brush the thought aside, but what is happening when I do that? Even just the fact that I have experienced their opinion has changed me in some way, whether it be towards their opinion or towards another, so their opinion is important and so is many others. 

Why Blog?

The power of Blog's is in there ability to level the playing field. In the past the main source of information that was accessible was either through expert sources (communicating via direct verbal contact, literary and even through representatives) who could have many bias that couldn't be effectively scrutinized because another expert would have to refute them, or people with influence like the wealthy, political powerful, or just powerful in some other way. With a blog though anyone who has a computer or now mobile devices can post their opinion and compile and share information and be freely accessible all over the world.
