My cousin Anna http://onetoughvoncookie.blogspot.com made a post on her blog about blogging, and below is my comment. It got me so inspired, I decided to make my own.
Ugh! I just wrote a really long comment on the theory of blogging. It was beautiful, and unfortunately lost to cyberspace. It was all about how blogging is another way to connect with people. It is a hope that you will truly be understood without having to deal with potentially loaded personal relationships. It opens you to an entire world of people. It is a way to say things that actually mean something to you in a profound way in which you may be heard by people you never knew existed. It is a way to take control of your being and to create a new sense of self. There is a line in the movie "You've Got Mail" where he's talking about Starbucks, and how for $3.50 you get a new sense of self in those 6 decisions you make just to get that cup of coffee. When you say grande americano (wink wink), it means something about your personality to the person from whom you're ordering (and if you don't believe me look up the Starbucks Oracle). Basically, by blogging you're saying 'grande americano' only to a lot more people, and a lot more eloquently. You just don't get a cup of coffee at the end of it.

Rock on Coll Coll! I'm so happy to know that you've started your own blog--I think you'll find it positively addictive. I know you have a lot to say, so get out there and blog your way to the center of cyberspace. And, hey, thanks for the shout-out.
