Why I hated blogging

I realized today why I've always avoided blogging. Blogs are basically scrapbooks. And I hate scrapbooking! I hate being the same as everyone else, so I avoid blogging all together- I don't want to end up with a blog that looks like a page out of a scrapbook made by someone who obviously spent way too much money and way too much time and effort cutting out little tiny sayings and little tiny pictures and taping them on with pieces of tape that are so small you can't even see them! I know some of you are saying, "but you don't use tape, you use a glue stick." Arghhh!

And those scissors with all the fancy cutting shapes? I admit to having used them on occassion - well, I can count on one hand the number of times I've used them - and I'm sure that each time I returned them to the person I had borrowed them from I vowed never to use them again.

So now, here I am blogging, like everyone else - my biggest nightmare come to life. Why can't I just be different? Of course, being able to write whatever I feel like without caring about what anyone else has to say about it is pretty nice. And being able to show off all the pictures I want to show off of myself, my husband, and my dogs is also a bonus. This blogging thing can actually be quite a boasting platform, when you think about it.

Look around at most blogs. You will find thousands of pictures of kids. I'm almost glad I don't have kids so that I don't fall into this trap of putting every picture I've ever taken of them on my blog. Of course, you will see plenty of my dogs. Oh well. Anyway, just so that I don't fall into this whole jello mold thing, I vow to never post more than one picture of my kids per month. We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll never have to worry about it.

Well, I think I've ranted and raved over blogs for long enough now. I guess I'll post this comment to my blog, and hope that someone reads it and finds it somewhat amusing, thought-provoking, overly critical, or some other really deep feeling, rather than just the fluffy blah blah blah feeling that you get at most other blogs. See ya.
