Blog on Blogging

Today I am having trouble finding a topic. Therefore, I shall blog about blogging itself.
The term “blog” is short for “web log” and it is when other people post comments on the internet based on how they feel about someone or something that they like or dislike. They can be brief statements that are no longer than one or two words or phrases (i.e. lol, wtf) or they can be long and full of details like the one I am writing right now. They can be complimentary and full of compliments that praise others or they can be mean and nasty and can be degrading to a person. They can be any size and shape and can contain any type of word. They could be somewhat simple or they could be be intellectual and very difficult to decipher and comprehend. They could be written by old people that talk about past memories or they could be made by younger people who are just shooting the breeze with their fellow peers.
Blogging is found all over the internet and I will see it all over the many websites. When I read a news article, I will see comments at the bottom and see the initial reactions of others who have read the article. They could either be well supportive of the article and how they enjoyed it and agree with it. They could also, however, be well against it and slime the writer who wrote the article. One person might blog about how they feel about the weather and write about how they are so freaking pissed off due to all the rain and the cold weather; it can be as simple as that. It could be, however, a topic much more complex than something as simple as the weather. It could be about politics and the blogger could write about how well or how badly the politician that they are talking about is doing. We see blogs all over because there are so many topics to write about, there might even be bloggers who blog about those who blog as I had mentioned above about those who respond to articles.
For instance, I have been reading up on the elections for this year and next year and which candidates are expected to do well. From what I see, I can find that these articles can be seen as blogs. They are making their opinion on the subject and post on the web as if it were in a log book; hence, they are blogging. I can see the conservative bloggers will logically write articles supportive and favorable toward conservative views the same way I see liberal bloggers write pieces that are favorable toward liberals. At the bottom below the article I see the aforementioned comments written by those at both sides of the political spectrum who either praise and gush over the author’s work or lambast it and find any fault that they can with it. Some comments can reach far to either side of the political spectrum and there is no limit to the emotion of the commentators of the blog just as there are no limits to the bloggers themselves. They can be as kind or as nasty as they would like to be and they have the write to do so as it is one of the fundamental rights in the constitution.
Some people blog just for fun. They are just speaking their mind on what is going on with their lives and how they feel the way they do. They might be in a good mood and they write to tell the world about the good things that have occurred within their lives and how everybody should feel the way they should feel. However, there are also those who blog when they are in a terrible mood and write about how the world is always against them and how everybody on the planet except them should do him a favor and drop dead. On the other hand, some people blog because it is serious business and affects the future of their lives. They might be businessmen and women who comment on a product that their rival business is putting on the market and how they will plan to counter its release. There could also be agents in the CIA who comment on the secret location of the hidden base. Then again, that probably is not possible as that would be incredibly foolish and dumbfounded to post something like that for the general public to see. It doesn’t have to be limited to jobs; some school kids use blogging to spread news around in order to get the word out. In fact, I am doing that right now. My assignment is to blog about any sort of topic that I want and I have to post it by 10 o’clock tonight (which is coming pretty soon so I’d better hurry up and finish this piece of shit). I must get it to be around one thousand words in order for it to be acceptable to my English professor. She will hopefully get our grades on our blogs back to us by tomorrow so that we can see how we did. She will probably have comments, positive and negative, about our blogging and what we must do in the future. In a way, her grading our work and posting her comments on it on the computer is sort of blogging, itself.
We all will find ourselves blogging about one topic or the other. If one were to stop and think about it, they don’t even need a topic in order to blog. All you have to do is start writing about what ever is on your mind, whether it be sloppy and out of place or extremely neat and well organized. That’s the trick to blogging, it’s all about the writer and not about what they are writing.
I hope you liked my view on blogging and I hope it made you think. If you do not agree with the blog that I have written, go and blog about it and tell me how much you hate it. I don’t really care; like I said before, it’s your opinion and not mine.
