The French Saga: Week ??????

Blogging:

Blogging, derivative of the latin 'web-logging', deriving from the Greek 'World Wide Web' and the Hebrew 'log', meaning 'wooden plank to be written on (or the action of writing on such a wooden plank) or built with'. Usage 'World Wide Web': 'I have created the World Wide Web, but it will not work for you for at least another several years, Odysseos' (Poseidon speaking to the way-worn hero Odysseos, book 804 of Homer's great poetic masterpiece, The Odyssey). Usages 'log': 'I was going to put the ten commandments on logs, but figured rocks were better for the environment' (God (this quote also claimed by Al Gore)); 'We need more logs for the Ark, the elephants are falling out' (Noah). The Romans, as usual, chose to change slightly what was already in existence and call it their own invention. In this way they are like Artists.

Blogging is a world-wide phenomenon. EVERYONE blogs. If you haven't got a blog you are not properly plugged in. See a psychiatrist immediately.

The best part about blogging is that you can talk about yourself and your experiences (however boring or poorly written your entries) for pages and pages and pages and pages, and you can assume that people read your blog. It's one of the great inventions of the modern world.

Also, if one has a blog, one usually creates it because one is off to do something important in one's life, or one is going through a big adjustment (getting wisdom teeth out is not viable since one's time in a waking state is not existent), or one has discovered the meaning of life and needs to share it, mini-series style, in a series of short bursts.

One MUST, if one has a blog, take frequent sabbaticals where one does not write ANYTHING. This usally means something is going on in your life that is actually i,portant and you either haven't the time or aren't interested in writing. (See date of last entry for example.)
