Whether it be political or personal blogs (‘web log‘ for the ones that just start using the internet), it seems that nowadays everybody has something to say that, apparently, should be heard by the public. Back in the sixties one would go on the streets and express one self in what he or she believed and stood for. Or concerned a personal log, a so called dairy, was strictly personal and meant for one person only.
But not today! Political expression is done anonymously and personal dairies are done in public.
Even after having read so many blogs from friends over the past years, it never occurred to me to start one myself. Maybe it was because I never really felt that strong necessity to share my thoughts with other people, or maybe it was because I just could not find the time to start writing, or maybe it was just because I thought I would not have something to contribute something worthy enough to the blog community. Whatever it was, it is gone now and I am willing to take the chance of sharing my thoughts in public.
