so many friends i have seem to be blogging nowadays. Not that i'm against that but i'm just wondering where this is all headed. Where does this inherently 'exhibitionistic' nature that we all seem to share come from?

I find blogging to be extremely confining... can't say this, can't do that, might offend with this, etc. Also i've rediscovered the lost tactile art of actually writing (note: physically) in a journal. Just to see the words springing from my own hand and appearing in a loose scrawl is a great delight to me.

too many things have been confined to the virtual realm, and the concept of 'true' ownership of our thoughts and writings has been lost. Gone are the days of old fashioned letter writing, telephone correspondence and even reading traditional paper books. Newspaper anyone? Or is that too cumbersome...

And don't blame the kids if their handwriting sucks, afterall the only way to change one's font type is through practice and practice alone.
