A blog by any other name.....

Did you know...... That the average blog lasts 3 to 4 months before it is deleted or abandoned by the blogger?

Blogging is more than journaling. If you journal, you pretty much know that NOBODY else is going to read your ramblings. They are truly between you and the paper on which you write them.

The interesting thing about blogs is that you can feel as though you are keeping a secret, and at the same time open yourself up to scrutiny. It makes me wonder if all bloggers are people who have rec'd an extra helping of voyeurism in their genetic make up???

There's hardly anything worth blogging for me any more and RARELY any opportunity. As I've said before I am still longing for the perfect paper journal so that I can transition back to the dark ages of thought analysis.

I've created about 10 blogs. The first one - the most dangerous one - deleted, every last consanant. This is probably the most me on a daily basis. The others are shades of me. Some of them I'm not so proud of, but which I feel are necessary in order for me to maintain that delicate balance between reality and insanity.

Recently I checked in on several blogs I used to read regularly. Only one of them is still regularly posting and maintaining the same writing style and content that he began with. Of course, he may have 40 other blogs ~ who knows. But everyone seems to reach a point where they announce their departure.....but then they start up somewhere else.....then someone finds them there....and they announce their departure again ~ this time for good.

Does anyone really ever quit blogging? Or is it really that addictive? This is the only one I've posted to in eons, but I did recently get a comment from someone on a blog I'd forgotten existed.

Truthfully I wonder how many of my personal thoughts, rants, ramblings, epiphonies, and vents are out there that I would take back....if only I could remember where the heck they are???
