What is your opinion about blogging? Therapeutic! Why you ask? Nothing just amused at how addictive blogging can become. Hmmm, that is quite true sha. So, tell me, why did you start blogging? A friend once sent me a link to a post she did and I was like hmmm, I can do this. At least, ‘twill be an avenue to store all my writings and thots. What do you mean? …used to write quotes et al on papers before and the likes you know. So, is that what you still do? No, no not really; like life ‘thas evolved. Now I try to capture moments and events but, the ultimate about each post is that the comments complete I think compliment should be the word it. As in you could form a whole new post with the comments alone. The comments express people’s thots and person. ‘Thots’, I understand, what do you mean by ‘person’? I know you are leading me somewhere; I think I am curious to know the destination. Who am I not to indulge you? Anyway, do you know you can know people through their blogs? How? People’s characters and attitudes can be deciphered through their writings? Are you sure? Someone could write to create a different persona…… Yes, only someone cannot write consistently with the created persona for so long without slipping; and with the slip, the true ‘person’ is revealed. I am trying not to get lost with your train of thots.  Don’t fight the idea, which is why most times you may never actually ‘read’ what you are reading, just believe it. Are you saying you read between the lines when you read posts or what? Nope, I read strictly for pleasure and if one reads lazily one unconsciously picks out what even the writer realized not he or she was passing across. I will try to be conscious about it when next I am reading a post. Once you make a conscious effort then, you have failed before you even start. Whatever, so, what else is peculiar about blogging?

 

In blogsville, you get to know people before talking to them; unlike in the real world where you get to talk to one another, gauging, poking, pretending courtesy, observing all in trying to know a ‘person’ character & attitude through the ‘little details’ (hobby, career, likes, travels et al). However, in blogsville you already ‘know’ people through their ‘writings’ and you only get to know the ‘little details’ when if you meet. Se you get my drift now, the ‘person’ is the constant while the ‘little details’ is subject to change per time.
