I find myself crossing my previous personal boundaries, clicking, typing, and entering my emotions, feelings and thoughts into cyberspace. Although I have both Facebook and MSN accounts that already unveil a lot of my character. I have found it difficult to broadcast my thoughts and life over the internet for unknown eyes to glare at. I have changed my Facebook privacy settings so that I am not a victim of a "creeping." Originally with blogging I picture a website where people leave posts with pictures, links, videos, and notes from their daily lives, giving billions of people a single click away from entering view of my life. Creating a blog is remarkably easy. After looking at many other blogs, and even participating in some basketball discussions during my daily surf, blogging has started to grow on me. I find it interesting reading personal journals, and see a participatory aspect to report news and commenting on it. And from what I have seen news can be anything, from the pungent odour coming in line at the bank to a personally biased recount of the filming done here at Guelph. When surfing the web and looking at various blogs I find the title of the book we are to be reading, "Amusing Ourselves to Death", echoing in my head. Instead of contributing in the sometimes deafening echo, I hope to use this blog as to understand more about myself, to force myself to criticize (or sometimes just ramble) about what is going on in my life.
