A blog.
I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for the past few days.
The problem I have is that I don’t really know what the purpose of a blog is. I suppose it depends upon the ‘blogger’ and the ‘subscribers’. It seems somewhat wasteful to do something without a purpose.
But I must have thought to write a blog for a reason. Yes, it was those arbitrary thoughts, which leap into my head during STAT513, on my way to the gym, or while roaming around Whole Foods. I want to throw them out there, and see what comes back. Am I the only one who has these thoughts?
So, here starts my blog.
If you read it let me know, because, honestly, I don’t know why people really read other peoples’ blogs. Don’t expect profundity or humor. It’s me, remember.
Yesterday, I had lunch in Qdoba with Marian and Busi, I couldn’t help but notice this young man at the table to my left. He was truly a beautiful person, Red hair and all. I think the quality of my day improved because I saw him. Marian said I should tell him. WHAT? Um, I don’t think so. What would you do if someone told you that you are a beautiful person?
Wouldn’t it be great to be an author? Things like that lunch- I could write it off (no pun intended). Business expenses everywhere, and really, all day, you just observe the ordinary and then write about it. Maybe that’s part of the lure of a blog. I want to write a blog, possibly because I have a suspicion that, after completing a degree in Statistics, I will not go on to be a famous author of nonsensical nonfiction. But who knows...
Yay Blog!!

ReplyDeleteEveryone has thoughts they should put in a journal or blog. It's a way of unknowingly blessing other people.
C'est tout.
Very encouraging for me to read about your entree into 'blogging'! and since you invited me in....may I pose this question to you that popped earlier amid your fourth paragraph?
ReplyDelete"What would you do if someone told you that you are a beautiful person?"
