Creating my first blog

Creating a blog was a first for me. I have never had my own blog, nor have I ever followed a blog, and I even have a hard time recalling the last blog post that I read. I have never been into the whole idea of a blog, as I much rather prefer reading published news articles that have been through the editing process, so that I know what I am reading is a reputable piece of writing. In a nutshell, I consider myself an anti-blogger. This is nothing personal against blogs, but rather myself being an opponent to our society's increasing dependency on technology and my desire to live in simpler times without smartphones and hotspots, but this is neither here nor there. For the purpose of this class, however, I render the use of a blog necessary, and for reasons stated above I chose the most simple titles for my blog. I included my name so that my blog could be easily and readily identifiable to both my classmates and my professor. My overall opinion of blogs has yet to change. In fact, my opinions of blogs have only been reinforced. The incredible ease of creating an online journal in which one can spew his or her brash and close-minded opinions about current events and life to the entire world in a blink of the eye is astounding. In just minutes, from the time I created my blog until now, I myself have transformed from a blog virgin to a ranting blogger. I have to say I kind of enjoy it, as well. That's not to say I will ever blog outside this class assignment, but for the time being I can most certainly live with it.
