One Blog, Two Blog, Red Blog, Green Frog

Who came up with the idea of a blog?
Does everyone have a blog?
Do all of these billions of blogs get read?
I hope so.
I think it would be sad if someone took the time to blog, and no one read their blog...

Sometimes I blog-stalk. Oh c'mon, I know you do it too. And then my ever-wandering mind gets to wandering and I wonder why we all blog. Do we really love it? Do we love the act of recording our thoughts and shenanigans, or is it all some mass craving for attention?
(Assuming our blogs are read of course.)

Or is it both?

I must admit that for me it is both. Very narcissistic I know. At least I can admit it. I like (and by like I mean love) people to read my blog. I want to people to read what a write. Not in a look-at-what-I-did-today way or a look-at-how-great-my-baby/life-is way because
A) My life isn't that exciting. I think it's great, but some people might get bored living my life.
B)I do not have a baby. So until I get a real one, I won't blog about how great my imaginary baby is.
(Provided I had one).

...What was I saying?
Oh yes, I write partly because I want people to read what I write (I secretly want to be published someday), and I want people to laugh at the things I laugh at (I secretly think I can be funny sometimes), and I write 98.642% of the time because I love to write.

Another Question:
Does everyone with a blog have professional photographers follow them around taking pictures of their children and crafts and food? Or are all bloggers professional photographers?
I think I'm missing a few key requirements of being a good blogger.
A)I don't have children.
B) I'm not very "craftsy" or "cheffie."
C) My pictures (if there are any) are of poor quality.

So I suppose the solution to my problem is to work hard to become "craftsy" and "cheffie," and score myself an awesome husband to go along with my awesome life. He will be (of course) a doctor and/or lawyer and a part time photographer. He will follow me and our perfect children around taking professional-grade photographs of our crafts, food, and of course our perfection.
Problem solved.

But until then, my blog may be lacking...

  1. Well, just so you know, I think you have plenty to blog about. I enjoy your blog a lot. :) And I do laugh. And you're craftsy and cheffie enough for me. Hey, at least you try! My food creations lately are, uh, chicken nuggets out of the bag because I'm too lazy latley to follow a real menu.
    But good luck with finding a doctor/lawyer to follow you and your perfect kids around. :) Maybe all you need is a good camera to go with whatever kind of husband you happen to end up with. Nice cameras are way worth it, especially when you have a perfect little life to photograph. He he he.
    But even without perfect photos, I think your blog is just dandy. :) It's fun to write, and I secretly hope people will read what I write too even though it's way, way too wordy. ;)
    Love ya!

  3. HAHAHA I cannot believe you have turned to drugs! I come home to find sisters going to hospitals because they think they have the cutest little gall stones, and then they think it's cool and okay to be on drugs because of them?! What's the deal?! HAHA I'm with both comments...go with the camera. By the way, your blog is awesome. With or without the husband and baby, and you are too craftsy and cheffie! (love that word...or should it be cheftsie?)
