Entering the fray...
Well...here it goes...entering the world of blogging seems on one hand a completely worthless waste of time...i already had a journal...handwritten, then an electronic journal...neither of which I write in much any more...so why would i write more in this format...especially since i will obviously be self-editing much more than i ever did in the other formats...i guess there is something fascinating about the concept of someone else reading what you are thinking, what you did, what is important to you, etc... and actually caring...or not :-)I guess it is also a place to ask random questions...that in a normal journal would never be answered, but in this format...hey you never know who might have an answer to - why someone doesn't invent a form of Duct Tape that doesn't leave the sticky residue...or maybe an answer to why...well you get the idea...
So here we are jumping into the "fray"...interesting word...
To strain; chafe: repeated noises that fray the nerves.
To wear away (the edges of fabric, for example) by rubbing.
To become worn away or tattered along the edges.
A scuffle; a braw.
A heated dispute or contest.
To alarm; frighten.
To drive away.
n : a noisy fight [syn: affray, disturbance, ruffle] v 1: wear away by rubbing; "The friction frayed the sleeve" [syn: frazzle] 2: cause friction; "my sweater scratches" [syn: rub, fret, chafe, scratch]
Not sure exactly what definition most appropriately fits the world of blogging...but since i am my own writer, editor and publisher in this enviornment, I will draw reference to the ocean - waves that vary in intensity, but, except for brief respites at low tide, never cease....and in the process slowly transforms a boulder into pebbles...draw your own insights...i don't have enough time to share the various implications in my own life...but blogging seems to be a way to capture the process of life's friction...not to avoid it, but to simply record the process and observe the changes over time....
I don't know how this goes as far as a blog is concerned...but i enjoyed writing it...i'll have to read some of yours to gain perspective.
