I'm bored.

Therefore, I have created this thread for my own amusement, because I need something to read.

I'm just curious as to how many of you have "blogs." Although I feel they are not a good idea, and can be dangerous, many people have them. (I do too.)

People who do have blogs tend to use them fore two things: either posting quiz results, or ranting about their horrible misunderstood lives.

I actually just use mine to keep track of all the movies I watch. And comment on things.

But why do so many people feel the need to have blogs? Is it part of the collector bug -- have your friends join whatever community you're on, so that you have a huge list of friends? Or is it a genuine need to "express" one's self to strangers over the Internet?

I am perplexed.

A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.

Let's all start our soapboxes....

Nah. Nobody would give a toss about what I get up to each day and it would be the single most boring thing on the internet.

YV - the term 'blog' is a contraction of 'web-log'.

Sometimes even if there's things you could or should be doing, you can be bored because you don't feel like doing them. I believe there is more to boredom than just being bored. It's a form of depression I think.

I'm bored and need another music editing project. Maybe I'll edit Bohemian Rhapsody again. I did it once but my skills are more advanced now.
