I was not planning on posting another blog for a good few days on here, but something came up that I figured would be a good subject. One of my old friends from college asked me this morning what is the point in blogging on the internet? His argument was that telling people what you did in a day is not interesting, in his very words "Why would someone want to know why you bought a chicken sandwich and took the bus home?"... I could have responded by telling him that is not a basis for a good argument, but I decided for the sake of it, I would give a half decent back anyway. I look at people who blog on the internet not as attention seeking nerds as he seemed to make them out to be, but as people who want to get other people involved in their lives and engage with new people. I mean apart from making new friends and sharing your experiences, you gain valuable advice and life experiences from it as well. But I am not going to rant forever about this because everyone has their own opinion.
I guess in other news, it is Sunday night, and I as said in my previous blog, today has been better than the previous few days. I was gutted that I could not make the Bath YouTube gathering because the connected train I would have got to Sheffield was cancelled due to something happening on the track, but I think I will live. Speaking of that video sharing website, I have been encouraged by a few people to interact with the community on there more and make more friends. This seems like a good idea theoretically, but saying "Hey, you are cool, be my friend :D" does not appeal to me lol, I like the process of getting to know people properly. Ah well, I need something to keep me occupied on my two weeks off work I guess, so I might give it a go.
Well anyway, time to go and listen to some They Might Be Giants and play Halo 3 over X-Box Live, because I am cool like that... lol.
