As Jennifer Sees It

My Biggest Problems with Blogs

Now don’t get my wrong I really love them. Though at times am reluctant to use mine for certain purposes.

These purposes include, you know what I did last night. Why? Well because if it was really that interesting I would tell you in person if I was able to. If something great happened I would really rather just tell you. So sometimes I don’t blog about this and that in my life for fear that someone I know would read it and then when I was telling them about it, they would be so bored. If I can’t tell anyone because I am on some huge adventure somewhere, well then I mean I’ll blog about it cause its cool, I am away, but I just feel sometimes the internet and the tools it provides us makes us lose, well human touch.

Now don’t get me wrong. I start everyday checking people’s blogs and to see what they are up to. But I appreciate it most when the person is you know half way around the world. Or someone I don’t get the chance to a talk to. Or on some big adventure. Or I love pictures. If you include pictures I think its great. Sometimes if the moment you are blogging and you just talk about the generalness of life, I also love that. I even do like hearing about your night.

It just bugs me more then life itself when someone who I talked to on a regular basis, or really have the ability to talk to, is sharing there life with me through a blog. Why can’t you tell me?

I really don’t want to hear about your engagement through email. I want to hear the excitement in your voice. Or at least if you are going to blog about it, tell me about it to because I really want to know.

Anyways the point of this posting. I think this could be the reason why I have trouble blogging. Or when I do blog it is about the oddest things. Like when I was gone I sent out updates, which I should have just put on here, because I had no other way to let people know what was going with me. Or when I was getting ready I used it because well I had all this excitement about individual wrapped toilet paper, and that my friends, is not an easy item to bring up in a conversation.

Me: So I am very excited about individually wrapped toilet paper
Person: Really?
Me: Ohh ya I think it is great
Person: You actually expect us to have a conversation about toilet paper

See it would not go so well. But still wanted to tell you all.

OK so I would like to finish this by saying I really appreciate blogs. I think they are great and love to read them. Even about the stuff you did last night. Especially the stuff you don’t want to bring up in a conversation. But people if I know you, please the big stuff, I want to hear it from your mouth. Or if anything don’t give me a small teaser and then have me read it on your blog!

Make Sense?
