Why do we blog? Why do we attempt contact with others through the Internet? What drives us?
We want contact. I know I do because I don’t receive a lot of contact in my physical world. When in university, I interacted with many people. Sure not many “friends” whom I desired to associate with, but forced into interaction through groups and projects.
I interact with my four fellow work colleagues. I interact with most of my client’s associates through email and telephone, never meeting the people unless there are extreme circumstance.
Interestingly to me how we want to communicate with others through this medium. I’m amazed how many people I know solely through the Internet, some solely through my blog or the blog of others I have happened across.
As I sit here waiting for people to come online, I sit and write in my blog. I want to go to the market with mom, I wish she was online…
Quote
God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through. -Paul Valery, poet and philosopher (1871-1945)
Nothingness. I love this word. It make me feel empty. I am feeling empty lately. Oh, and I wrote a poem last night because I was temporarily inspired. I know Don will appreciate this, but I am not here to please everyone.
Poem
To know I was here
To know I was missed
To know I was loved
-Me
Please don’t gush, praise, or insult. Just leave it as is. Some chick with a blog whom thinks she can write poetry.
And Momma has arrived online. Cherrio!

I blog cuz if I don’t I would have to write on the wall, which I did for sometime, literally and metaphorically, and will probably do again.

ahh Adrienne…the million dollar question. Why do I blog? because I can’t afford therapy and some things just don’t make good dinner table conversation. Besides if I don’t let these thoughts spill out, I’d have to defrag my brain at least once a month. Hope you had a great weekend. I worked mine away and now I’m off to bed!

p.s: my first comment got eaten by the internet gremlins. This is a re-creation and may not be exact…lol
