hmm

so, i thought about writing something today, but i've decided not to, because i don't think as a 21 year old, that it's really all that important to explain myself to other people. I don't do anything to hurt anyone, and i try my best to live a good, christian life. I go to church, work, love my job, love my family, respect my parents, i'm there for my friends, and i strive for the best every day. Good enough for me? sure. where i'm at in my life, i couldn't ask for anything different, or more.
So, instead of what i originally had in mind... i'm going to blog about the topic of "blogging".

The wikipedia definition of blogging can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog
but, some of my favorite blogs to read can be found here: www.espn.com
People blog all the time these days. People blog about current events, special events, sports, music, movies, life, and then theres blogging for the personal online diary so to say entries..
Some of the world's most profound writers can be found "blogging"...
i just chose to do mine via blogspot, via the internet. It's easier for me to type than it is to write things out, and with today's technologically advanced society, why not take advantage of something so neat.
This is a place for me to write down my thoughts, my dreams, my aspirations, and my accomplishments. Somewhere for people who are interested to see what's going on through my head. What happens in my life, and how i feel about those happenenings around me. What happens in the world, and how it affects me, or again how i feel about them. In a way, you could say this is my personal online diary. However, it's not a secret. Anyone can read it, and i have no intentions of hiding it from anyone. It's very personal, but its also very public. Sure, some days i may only write about me, and whats going on in my personal life, but other days i may write about politics, how i veiw the next four years with America's first african american president, or who i think will win the superbowl and why. If you find it interesting, great! If not, sorry... there are thousands of blogs you can read on this domain. :) What i will never do in my blog is use it as a scapegoat.. i will not attack anyone verbally,(through my blog), I will never talk about anyone specific in my life in a bad way, I will never threaten anyone, and I will not use my blog to hide my feelings. That's not what it's for, it's simply to express them in a different way. I will not, nor have i ever used someone's name while talking about the aspects of my life. I will simply write about what is going on, and how i feel about it. I will not intend to cause any grief or harm, simply to share with the online blogging world and myself, as a 21 year old american female, what i'm feeling, thinking, and seeing around me.

That is my creed as a blogger on this domain.
And to close, a theraputic reason for blogging:

"Scientists have long known the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences. Blogs provide another convenient avenue for writing about personal experiences. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients and even speeds healing after surgery."
