I think I misunderstand the whole blog phenomenon.
My idea is that we should be coming TOGETHER, but are we? Do we really represent the prophesied Global Villiage? It would seem so, and I suppose I should conclude this lonely mental prism of ours, allowed to stand naked, is actually freedom. And, on the flip-side, who can argue with voyeurism...?
But.
It seems to me, if you write publically -- like if you're gonna bare your cottage cheese humanity to the rest of us -- you had best serve us. Not that you write our expectations of godhood manifest, but that you confront our vacant stares which beg of you, seriously: Who are you?
Who are you, and how on earth are you going to put that into words? The accidentally brilliant may be excused -- they are an illusion of granduer -- consciousness is the only thread through the eye of the needle.
So are you reading me right now, man, woman, child?
See I feel all of you, because I did business with some of you today. And tomorrow, I will serve more of you and some of you will serve me. We smile and we haggle. We peep and fantasize about possessing each other. It is so much fun!
Even as no one reads my words, I recognize that my words are the same words that you and you and you and you and you and you and you have all chosen. Therefore, when I read my own words with you in mind, I write only that which you permit me to write!
THAT is freedom.

1 comment, from my introverted self. I'm similarly unsure what blogging is meant to be about. However, I have gained a tendency to be somewhat philosophical about such things. For me, it's about self expression, without the shackles and stigma associated with the normal, typical ways of doing this. It is also profoundly therapeutic, especially knowing that someone out there is reading your thoughts. [I haven't made an entry in my personal blog for eons]
so can ya feel me now?
But that's my point: Me rambling and believing that some anonymous-ones ares pouring over my words seems ludicrous.
Why on earth would they??
I skim blogs so peripherally, I rival Hitler! Bang! Next Blog. Bang! Next Blog...etc. You know?
That is why I say something is not right. A human, a life, should be valuable, even in cyberspace.
But instead we are a dime-a-dozen. Not even worth a comment.
PS, The irony is that this topic is my first post to get comments! Doesn't that just make you laugh?? It does me.
I did not create my blog so much with the intention of being read, but more to find other blogs with similar interests. Therefore, I am not too worried about page hits, though I am still excited to get comments. I found that I did not know enough people personally that have much musical knowledge (as my blog is a rock music blog), but there are tons within the blogging group. Since starting my own music blog, I have discovered tons of new bands from other bloggers.
By the way, nice site. And thank you for visiting mine, your comment was very insightful and useful.
