What is it about Blogging?

I just do not understand the point of blogging? I get social media and allowing us to connect with family and friend that are far away. People have lives and are just not able to talk and send pictures like we use to so the computers help so many stay connected. I personally use Facebook but when I am on it, it is right before bed and I maybe get fifteen minutes. So I guess my confusion is how can people sit in front of a computer all day and blog?

As I read through a ton of blogs I just feel so out of the loop. I have a life with kids, pets and school plus I am trying to make myself better by keeping active and actually social. But while I was looking at some, there were some that really caught my attention. Post Secrets, was one I enjoyed to look at but I had seriously mixed feelings about it. I am a very honest and blunt person and when I have the need to say something I say it. This to me seems like a way people can let some of the skeletons out of their closet without being judged but at the same time they are because millions of people look at this and post to it themselves. 

There were many and I mean many that were just so random(Hullabaloo, and Shakesville) I was seriously confused at what I as reading. Yes they had subject to the post at the time but it was so random it would jump from food to sex to how the dog played at the dog park. I was just not interested I personally need structure and purpose. But again this goes with sitting in front of a computer all day. If that is all you see or do I guess you would just go on tangents of how the dog ran around a tree for 15 minutes.

Some blogs were very professional and well put together but I can see some of those being all about competition, and causing fights. Americablog, was one of the big ones that just seems to scream opnion and lets fight. I worked in a bar as a bartender and the 3 subjects you never want to bring up is Politics, religion, and race, they always cause fights. So when I looked at this particular blog I saw it was informative but also opinionated and that is just not my cup of tea(and I love tea). 

Another one I did enjoy for the view was Bloggies it was very well put together and I really did enjoy reading about some of the places and animals and things to look for, or visit. Will I sit there and look at for hours, NO, but I did enjoy it for this assignment. I did not like that it was all competition but that is again my personal opinion because I only compete with me. I know how hard I have worked and what I have done so who can really judge me. These places and things were all nice but who really is to judge by their experience when another who does the same can judge totally different.
