Blogging (This Post is Totally Meta) 0_0

I hurt myself trying to do this

Blogging in today's world seems rampant and widely accepted as a modern social platform for diary-ing.  I personally wouldn't mind blogging about my day, random thoughts, and deep, dark secrets (I secretly love Justin Bieber).  The problem with blogging however, is when forced to discuss a specific topic that you might generally have no compelling feelings about.  Let's pick a completely random topic that's in no way preplanned...let's say..."technology."  (Sidenote: Is there such a thing as preplanning?  Isn't that just planning?  I digress...).  


Technology, while very interesting and influential in modern life, can be boring to me.  I am by no means an 80 year old man who hates technology and would rather sit on a porch all day yelling at kids, than learn how to type an email.  I am however, a virile, young man who would rather go around doing backflips and karate kicks than spend an hour trying to to come up with a good topic to talk about and making sure I have enough interesting things to say about it.


Some would say I should just go to Google News and pick a tech article and talk about that.  To that, I respond with, "I refuse."  Tech news are boring and writing about them would just reflect that in my words.  I enjoy writing stuff about things I actually care about and would prefer not to bring up a boring topic and just say, "I agree.  This is totally kewl, guys."


My point is this: blogging, in my opinion should be an expression of thoughts and feelings genuinely felt by the author.  It should not be an assignment, a duty, or a dreaded exercise in essay writing from an English class.


With that said, this post should totally count for the media diary assignment.  I think...nee know this is in some tiny way related to technology.  Please?  Pretty please?


P.S. In no way is this an insult or complaint towards the assignment or assigner.  I totally love doing these things.  The assigner herself, is wicked cool too.  In fact, one could say the purpose of this was just to serve as an alibi for the tardiness of these blog posts.  Pretty please?


One of my favorite things about the assigner is her leniency towards quality.
