Blogging.

I must say, having a blog is quite new to anything I've ever had. I never had a livejournal, so I've never gone throughout the day thinking after everything that happens, "Wow, I should go home and type about that on the internet so that anybody else can read it!"

Now, however, my life is changed. Firstly, let me explain walking. I walk across campus to my classes. Usually I walk, say, twenty minutes, tops. When I walk, I like to listen to my iPod. I realized after I lost my iPod (to whoever found it on the sink in the twenty minutes I forgot about it and refused to turn it in, I hope you enjoyed my music collection) that I don't actually like listening to music so much as I like isolating myself. It's not that I'm unfriendly and wouldn't talk to people if given the opportunity, it's just that travelling is always a time of thought for me. When I was younger, car rides were always when I thought, or bike rides. Walking is kind of the same thing. It's just a time for me to unwind, since I can't do much besides walk. It gives me time to think and let my mind wander in whatever direction it so chooses. Sometimes I'll have conversations with one of my friends in my head, trivial or "deep." Sometimes I'll think about my plans for the day. Sometimes I'll imagine possible future scenarios in which I might be involved (when raptors grow wings, there is no escape) and, more recently, I'll think, "I should write about this experience on my blog!" Then I spend the rest of the walk planning out what I would type. Sometimes I'll sketch a few notes out in class so I don't forget the idea, although I figure that the actual entries are much different than what I read in my head to myself while walking. I always feel like this is never as good, although my subconcious is not the most creative thing. For example:

The other evening, I dreamt about a horror movie. It was about a jogger that couldn't escape from jogging around a lake. While he was around this lake, a truck tried to kill him. Think the plot is astounding? The title of the movie was "Good Day." My subconcious created a movie named "Good Day." The sequel was "Better Day." The third in the series? "Great Day."

Like I said, not the most creative mind ever. Either way, I'll think of great blog entries while I walk. Then I make a few notes so that I can remember them later when I actually feel like blogging. Now today, I have been awake five hours total. In these five hours, due to more walking than usual, I have thought of four blogs. One about cold, one about records, one about logic, and the one I'm typing now. The problem is that I don't like updating my blog more than once a week. When you only have six people who read your blog, you don't want to force them to read it too often. Jess checks regularly to kill time at work, but the other five people usually check if I say, "Hey! Check my blog!" Apparently the blog post titled You! didn't do as much as I hoped. Either way, since my friends usually only check my blog once a week on their own, I don't want to post excessivley. Also, is there much a point in posting alot for nobody to read?

Keep tuned for the other three blogs mentioned. Coming soon to a computer near you!
