What is this blogging thing anyways

So, it's still day 1 of my blogging experience, and I think I might be addicted. It's so much better than writing in a journal, and I don't quite know why. Maybe it's the excitement or validation of knowing, or at least hoping, that someone out in the webosphere will hear me and read my mind. (Literally) Maybe it's the idea that I'm putting all these thoughts down and sending them somewhere that they are "officially" posted. I really don't know. All I do know is that it's fun, and I hope to be able to show people that sharing is connecting and that's all I know to be important in life.
