Why Blog?

Why Blog?


One of the main attractions that draws me to BlogLand is the diversity to be found here. The rank humanity all around me, exposing me to ideas and outlooks that would not occur to me in my usual walk-a-day life.

On the one hand, the particular foibles found among all these folks is fine fodder for my satire. At the same time I'm learning, receiving an education by fitting myself in different shoes and walking around in em for a bit. Yes, BlogLand is a playground for me, but it is a learning playground nonetheless.

What helpful things do you all find here, I wonder?

As always,

blog on


also, here is a pic from last winter recalling cooler days...

It's much like a community buliten board.That's board and not broads!
Your take on histotical screen names was a classic and that's what it's all about really!

Using more than all the road!

Why not blog?

The reasons are many and can vary.

I don't always find or get everything I want out of the blogs, but I always find something!

Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

Welcome to The Venting Blog, 2ndegree! Thank you, for responding. It is a community of sorts. Let's foster it, if we can!

Thanks for the compliment, and I'll see you over at your place shortly.

blog on!

I hear ya! But, that's only because you wrote it down. I can't hear much of anything in a crowd of people I'm getting more and more deaf. So I'm pretty quiet these days, myself.

I thought I'd be up this summer, but we are going to the Keys instead. Next summer is a trip across the pond, so it will be at least by the 3rd summer from now.

All of my great aunts and great uncles have passed. Our reunions are now held all over the place rather than Pittsburgh every year like it used to be.

Oh well,

blog on!

Roseanne Roseannadanna?

Wasn't that from SNL?

I enjoy reading the blogs more than writing them. And when I read them I look at all the comments that's what I find interesting different points of views

Great photo. Thanks for sharing.

I like the friends I've made through the blogs. Seeing as they are all over the world, and Oz, I get to read about their lives, all very different to mine.

If it wasn't for the blogs, I would have left years ago, as the site is not what it used to be.

I blog for the interaction between people. the friendships I have made over the years and because this is just about the only place I can say some of the things I want to say and be understood.

Thank you, thank you! Spread that "blog on" everywhere you go.

Ha! "fodder" was um, ah... indelicate??? as a word to use for a human being, but I had reasons. I chose it for its alliterative value. I needed words that began with "f".

Do not fear, I do not satirize individual bloggers unless they are acting in one of my blog-plays and have given permission to be named. (which is a requirement to be an actor in my plays anyway).

No, I speak of a more general use of the things I see around here. The interactions in a blog war for example. There is much to be learned about human nature when these incidents happen. Watching folks transform before your eyes is quite informative.

Oy. Can't you see how I love to talk, er type - even more than you? And I'm not even done with this comment yet!

Let's see... oh yeah, I am presently blogging in my eleventh year here, and in all that time I have not seen fit to ban a single blogger from spouting off in The Venting Blog.

Lastly, (which in retrospect should have lead off this here complicated comment) I wish to say:

Welcome to The Venting Blog! I had been seeing your comments all over the place since I got here and I had been hoping you would find some time for a visit here.

You have the humor and wit to be an awesome blogger, and I love blogging with awesomeness, so

blog on!

Yes, SNL. Great memory. Mine's almost gone. Seems to depend on the day.

Oh yeah, I suppose I should tell you that your comment has made Lala up there look like a seer. And it won her a bet. So thanks, (I think).

Hello nd2! Welcome to The Venting Blog, which offers up some of the best comments ever uttered online!

Blog banter is the best part of the blogging experience for me.

You are very sweet, thank you!

Yes, the all over the world thing is very cool to me. I know bloggers in many of the planet's great cities by now.

I'm with you. Without these blogs, there would be no keithcancook.

You have hit on something I have felt as well. Years ago, a few of my best blogging buddies left here to go blog on other sites. They returned after a few months and reported that while the formatting and other things they wanted for their blogs was better over there, they hated it because of the vanilla.

They couldn't talk openly about the "taboo" sexual dialogue that we are allowed. We can pretty much say anything, anytime here in BlogLand.

Thank you, and welcome back, CRB!

What you say is both interesting and perceptive. I had similar feelings, I guess. Wondering what sort of sex-fiend-deviants had I stumbled into, and would I fit in.

I spent the first three days here furiously perusing the profiles, firing off letters (spent a buncha time crafting those) .... yadda yadda yadda...and then I hit the blog button.

And you are so right. Most are regular decent folks. They just have tons of indecent ideas.

I dunno, claim what you will, in the meanwhile all this talk of old comedy routines sent me in search just like ol Furbal up there. I just spent the last hour watching a loop of SNL routines from the 70's beginning with roseanne roseannadanna on yahooo.

I swear, I think I busted a rib laughing. Thanks, you guys. That was fun!

Well dang! I'm gonna have to retract my assertion that I don't satirize living bloggers without permission. After reviewing my blogging behavior over the years I found that I've been doing it all along.

And I'm about to do it again!

Ha! No. At least I think not. Are you going to submit a post for the eleventh virtual symposium that humorlife is organizing? I am considering injecting a bit of satire into a post involving many of the participants of said event.

The good thing is that I have given you a reason to post that teeth-chattering emoticon thingie. I don't get to see that one as much as some others.
