It is 8:31 on the evening of September, 4th, 2008. As of my first day of University, I have already been introduced to a new method of writing - a new world of writing really, which I'm discovering, is a hell of a lot better than the quail feather ink pen I've been writing with for too many years. What I'm trying to say is I now have my own log called a blog. I always heard people talking about blogs, creating blogs, writing blogs and sharing blogs, but I never really picked up the excitement. Blah Blah Blog is what my thoughts whispered in my ears. I truly find the word "blog" such an odd word on its own, but to have one of my own? Now that's expanding.
I guess I wont know how I feel about my first blog post until I am actually done the post, but I'm currently feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. In an exciting way, of course. I find this blogging business very similar to a website called Live Journal which I used to partake in, except I felt succumbed to writing only about my day to day adventures, which got boring as hell after too long so I eventually stopped having one all together, which aided in preventing me from reading everyone else's lullaby posts. I actually have different topics to discuss now, for this is a school-related blog, and my teachers will be reading these words with their careful and curious eyes. I think this is a great way to do homework, because I'm so used to the traditional book to copy to pen to paper homework, but this is really letting technology rummage through your brain cells.
I am looking at the time on autosave, and noticed that it has taken me about 45 minutes to write this. With all the thinking and text messaging and pretty flowers and cats rolling around on their sides being all adorable, I have been distracted. Media = distraction. Media = expansion. And this is how I feel now that my post is ending. Fortunately, I will continue to write in my blog, since I own it, and it is all mine, and my opinions really matter now, when they were just dust particles on planet Live Journal.
Update you soon. (Now Im giving the blog human attributes)

you have officially claimed ownership of your blog and your writing -- this is very exciting to read. the next step is to think about how all of this technology (all of these media distractions) will impact your writing and your ability to think critically. i look forward to reading your work with "careful and curious eyes."
keep writing,
i.
