if we were our defenses, i'd be joining you.

blog blog blog blog blog blog blog.

that’s what i see when i read other people’s blog’s. other people that i don’t know, of course. do other people see that when they read mine? do other people read mine?

don’t get me wrong, i enjoy delving off into other people’s lives, but as soon as they start talking about susie stealing jake from tabitha, or what flavor nutragrain bar they had for breakfast, i kind of lose interest…ya know…considering…’i don’t know those people’… (to steal a quote from a friend)

so, what’s the attraction? why do we put our innermost thoughts, dreams, stories, lies, our whole lives on this…robotic system to be exposed – naked for the world to see? why would we voluntarily do that to ourselves? and why would we want to read about the lives of complete strangers?

curiosity. to fill a void. and because computers don’t require a commitment. sad, but true. this is the sick, sick world in which we live.

    I'm with you Bob. Maybe the attraction is just the potential readership. That's the ultimate incentive for a writer, right?
