My turn, Blogga Please!!!

I think there is some confusion to my actual goal here (see Guestbook). Umm... there is none. The whole reason that blog culture/community has taken off in places like New York, is that it gives like minded people a forum, and an opportunity to share ideas on music, culture, etc. ...and yes, in my case, I am able to communicate with family and friends in America, in a more unique way then sending out a mass email every month. Who knows what will happen with it. I could get bored next week ditch the whole thing! I mean, I must admit, it is amazing a blog likeSarah's, who admits herself that her blog is merely about her getting drunk, is extremely entertaining. ...not to mention a great source of new music, and random crap. I have never met any of the bloggers I read about, but it is a great window into the human condition, and most bloggers are extremely interesting people.

Uncle Grambo says it best, when talking about how whatevs.org started out as a distraction and ended up something more:

In the beginning, I'm not quite sure there was a vision. I was heavily influenced by Might and Entertainment Weekly, so I had originally envisioned weekly updates and for it be more "feature" based, dig? You know, 500 to 1000 words on either books, music, movies or celebrities ... whatever was on my mind that week. But after discovering Blogger technology, the technological impediments that hindered the timely delivery of Piping Hot Content no longer existed. And that's when things started to blow up and people outside of my close circle of friends started to respond. The seeds of buzz were sewn, yo.

I really want to stress that I do this for fun, and that's it. If I can have a laugh at friends posting criticisms about me on the soup diet, then that's all I need.
