Really, it isn't. I cannot say for sure if I'm actually trying to do anything with this. It seems that most blogs fall under one of two categories. The Journalistic and The Old Standard.
The Journalistic is a news-bearing blogger. Anything seen in this type of web-log is a more personal, more detailed version of the sorts of things one might see/hear/read in more formal news publications. Human interest. News. Tech. Whatever.
The Old Standard is the web-diarist. Is that a word? More pointedly, if it isn't, who cares? It works. It is a catalogue of the events of a single life, or the feelings of a single person. At times there are stories. At times there are rants. At other times there are academic treatises. Interesting to some, but not all.
Now there's a thought. A Truth, even. With a big T. What in this world is interesting to everybody? Pick a thing. Surround it by people who love it. Double the group. You'll find a few who might only like it. Double again, and some people are just there with a friend. Again, and someone doesn't quite know why they are there, but they heard something about free pizza. Double one more time and you get protesters.
This one is less directed than the others. I guess I'm Old Standard. I hope those small few of you who stumble upon this by random chance find something in my little paragraphs to make you think. I will never whine. I will never complain. I'm just a guy trying to put his words in order. You have my word.
