I have been adding friends like crazy on Facebook as of late (though not as many as Jean) and have noticed that many of my extended family have blogs. "You should check out our blog" they say. So, I did. I didn't get what I expected, although maybe my expectations were not realistic.
I realize that there are many different kinds of blogs, and in general they contain what people think about things or cool things they have come across (see Our Lady Of Perpetual Hell) , info about culture or music or movies (see Pop Candy), or just random crap. I try and post about thinks I have encountered, or things I like, that others might enjoy or be horrified about. Get what you get, I suppose. So, in an effort to see what other people like or feel strongly about, I ventured out to see what they had to say.
What I got was much like going to any family party. A lot of pictures of kids, or vacations, or weddings, but not a whole lot about what they really thought inside or something cool they wanted to share. (Okay - so now I may have pissed people off. That was not my intention, I was mearly expecting something entirely different.) I guess sharing those fun things is good, but mix in a good "this is what I think about that" posting in addition to those cute kids. I can always catch up with you at the family Christmas Party or on Facebook. :)
With that, I am adding a new link to my list of a friend that works with me. She has just started her blog and there aren't many items there, but they are interesting. (Found out something I didn't know about her.)

A lot of people use their blogs as another way to scrapbook their memories or as a journal
Ahhh - very true. And that is just dandy. I must not have had M&M's that day or something. ;)
