Reflecting on the Blog Experience: Week 1

It seems ages since I started this personal blog, and then again, it has not been long enough. As I moved through my day, I think of this blog. What should I write that might be of interest to others? What should I not write to avoid getting in trouble? Or, what should I publish to make it interesting and funny? Although I titled this blog, Just for fun!, the truth is that I'm not a funny person at all. Don't get me wrong, I know how to have fun, but generally I'm way too serious and I've always been. At a minimum, putting this blog together has been fun for me. ;-)

Although one of my e-commerce classmates suggested that I should write more about my life experiences on the blog, I truly wonder who on the WWW will care to know about my day, my thoughts, and my life. Who? Most of us would like to believe that we are special, interesting, and, as in Lake Wabegon, above average. The truth is that most of us live ordinary lives. It is very likely that you chose at age 17 or so a major before entering college and before you had enough life experiences to know if that was the right choice. Then started working, got a significant other (marry or not), and here you are back again in college a little bit wiser than when you were 17, trying to do it all over again. (Well, at least, the education part.) If our lives are similar, why would you read about my life? I’m not sure, but my guess is that people enjoy reading about each other lives on the blogosphere and elsewhere.

As I mentioned in prior postings, this blog is the result of a BU assignment, but it does not have to continue as such or end after I get my grade next week. I plan to keep the blog beyond my class requirement. I'm sure that the tone and voice of my blog will change as I become more comfortable with the technology and the blogosphere. I will comment on the issues of the day, issues in my area, and more. Stay tuned!
