Bloggy Blog Blog


Blog... what a funny word. I don't know what it stands for, but blogs are a cool thing for the most part. I was eating lunch with my entire office today, and we started talking about blogging. Joe, one of our maintenance guys has lived a crazy and interesting life. We were telling him that he should write a book, and I suggested he start a blog. He's an older guy and he's super open-minded, just an all around groovy guy. He was really interested in it. I would totally read his blog. I feel like his stories would be really interesting.

My boss, who is a younger woman with a baby on the way started to tell me that a lot of people are now starting baby blogs. Basically blogging about the babies growth, cute things they do, yadda yadda. I always thought blogs were just for people who like to hear themselves talk and disclose too much to complete strangers. But it seems that they can serve a more practical and down to earth purpose. Go blogs!

  1. Wow interesting, I guess that's what it means when people say 'coming of the new ages'. I dont think I'll ever have a blog for my baby. I hope to keep things old fashion when I have kids and record image memories in a photo abulm and not on the world wide web vis Facebook. I think that's a;; private matter unless it;s with close family and friends. This is rather interesting though that blogs have crossed the lines of personalizaton to lively updates to being subjective, like babies. What's next, pet blogs?

  2. Blogs are strange. I love them for promotional uses, and for comedy, but stuff like this just seems absurd to me.

  3. I like blogs just to see what other people think is important enough to write about. As for blogging about your kids -- thats crazy. I hate when people put their baby all over FB, especially when they're young and it looks tacky.
