I used to blog on Live Journal. I love blogging. LJ was a great place for me to vent and just get the junk out of my system. I had a small "audience" there...friends and mostly family. It was a good place to be.
Then I discovered another blogging page (I won't even mention it here...not worth your time if you go looking for it.). It was a quiet place when I first began blogging there. It was also a place to have your profile out there on the net. I could also include photo albums of any sort. It's a gathering place of sorts. Sounds like I am talking about MySpace, but, trust me, I'm not. I began connecting with random people all over the USA and abroad. I even made personal connections with some local folk here in the area who used the same page. It was fun....for a time.....
But, then, well..it evolved into something icky...toxic...a popularity contest of sorts. A kind of "my blog is better than your blog" spot. And, God forbid, you don't comment on some people's blogs!!!! Some take great offense to it.
I have several good...and I dare say great...blogs on this page. I am hoping I can transfer them somehow without having to cut and paste them. But, if that is the way it has to be done then so be it. *sigh*
So, we'll see how it goes here...not that I am expecting anything from this page. I would just like a place to come to and be me...vent it out...word vomit if I have to...just get it out and off my mind.....
