Blogging

I am by nature not a very chatty person.  I do not enjoy talking about myself or what is "going on in my life" unless I am asked a question.  I typically have to be provoked in order to have a conversation by a question or something of that nature.  I do not like initiating conversation.  That being said, although I am a very friendly person, I am in a way anti-social.  This is a incredibly horrible trait for a bartender have because the industry is based on being able to talk to people.  But that is how I am, I am very introverted and shy.  Now I also find it easier for me to communicate via writing.  I would rather text than talk on the phone, write a letter than have a heated argument, etc.  I think it is easier for me to process my thoughts as I write rather than speak them.  I am a pretty weird kid.  With all of this knowledge of me being extremely introverted and not talking to people I do not know I find it incredibly dumb for me to blog.  I blog about nothing because I do not know what to blog about.  What is the point of that?  To blog about nothing.  I feel like if you are going to have a blog it should be for a purpose.  Take for instance my friend Abbi, her best friend, Angel, lives over seas with her husband(who is in the army) and Abbi's godson.  This makes it difficult to keep in touch because of time differences, schedule conflicts, etc.  So in order to keep Abbi and the rest of Angel's family updated on what is going on with her and Abbi's godson Angel writes a weekly blog that talks about the different culture and environment she is in, all the cute things her son did that day, and includes pictures so Abbi can see how big he is getting.  Now that is a purpose for a blog!  In the same idea , for our troops over seas or even the ones that are here but are on base, it is difficult to stay in touch with family and friends.  It is easier to write a blog that people can check in on when they want to know what you have been up to rather than send out an email or try and write a letter.  It is easier if they just upkeep a blog for their friends and family.  That being said blogging for people like me is useless.  I see my family and friends regularly, I hate writing stuff or talking about myself, and when I do write is about absolutely nothing.  Once this class is over, I will probably never post on my blog again.  I wish I could say I enjoyed blogging, that I lead a very exciting life, that I have an insane amount of knowledge about something, or I am incredibly opinionated on certain topics so i should keep a blog so people can read in on what's new in Julie's world.  However, I am none of these.  The most excitement in my life would be the bar fight from the night before or me getting another job to add to the ridiculous amount of bars I've worked in.  Not exciting, not need to know, not objective. Blogging for me= no purpose.
