Keeping a blog requires me to risk myself in language more metaphorically than anything else. I can sense the risk of being shot by an invisible arrow of disagreement. Unlike the unspoken man lurking in the shadow of fear I will be speaking up by keeping this blog. The heavier risk is not really being silent, but it is the risk of missspellling:) words, misplacing, commas, sentenses grammatically being incoherent, and that is all, unless you also are risky with run on sentences, or hyphens.
I am not afraid of anyone reading my blogggg. I am not afraid because I will always know that someone else (my sister) has made an even more inferior blog than mine. The thing is that before I post anything I can decide what I want to express first, unless of course there is an Arrow Maker about. I conclude that the time limits on our assignments are in fact the Arrow Maker himself, hour glassing (is it alright to make up verbs?) us into speaking. There is a risk, but for me I do not mind one bit. The Arrow makes the Arrow Maker.
On-line communication has become so popular because it is a good source of inside jokes; defeated the inside part though I think. Anyone can see and hear something funny on-line and carry it with them among friends, sort of a way of cheap entertainment. Other aspects of it include the being connected to others thing. It is easy for people to find old friends on Facebook, or to say things to the hundreds of aquaintances that they have. It is all bound to continue.
Hour glassing, such a cool new word. I think it should be in Websters.
ReplyDeleteohh so amy yates is your sister i thought you two were married. I would have to agree with you on the whole blogging ordeal. I by all means am not a writer who knows what he's typing. I would like to say that the errors I probably make are such that drive a writing extremest up the wall.
ReplyDeleteAt least my blog has more...color :)I do agree that it is a positive aspect to be able to think about what you want to express in a blog before actually submitting the post. Just as it is said, "Think before you speak."
