Assignment #1 - Blogging about Blogging

  This being my first time blogging, I had no idea of what to expect.  My initial thoughts were of how easy it is to set up and use.  Nothing very eventful occurred in my attempts to create my page and I have been able to create this first blog within minutes of starting to set up.  Before I began my attempts to set up my blog, I decided that I should probably take a look at other blogs to see what they were all  about.  I found that they were mostly filled with the rambles of pretentious people who believe that other people really care what others think of their day to day problems or their takes on issues.  I would prefer to get this information for other news sources, but I suppose that enough people are entertained with other peoples musings that Blogging has become a successful form of communication.
    As previously stated, this is my first time blogging and thus this is the first time that my work will be judged by others, excluding my teachers of course, so I suppose I should be a little nervous.  However, I find that because I can hide behind my computer screen I feel a false sense of security that is often experienced by web users.  I find that the human mind uses the computer as a shield, much like we use the car has a physical barrier.  You would never hear someone swearing at a random stranger right on the sidewalk, but on the highway or on the internet, you will find it is quite commonly.
     Despite all my prejudices against Blogging, I am still a bit excited to put out my ideas and opinions and finally discover what others think of my work.  This should be an interesting experience, though perhaps not something that I will do again.  I guess that we shall find out.
