Virgin Attempt

I finally fell into the trap - lured by the mystery of public writing. I wonder whether I will stuck to the board, like a fly on fly paper, constantly rambling. Coz that is what blogs are about right? The ramblings of men and women seeking some sort of catharsis or perhaps reaching out to anyone who can offer a listening ear to their current area of interest.

I am also wondering, whether there are people out there, who sit hours at a row, reading other people's entries. Very like friendster. One of my sisters apparently is quite hooked on reading the exciting profiles of other friendster members. I prefer the privacy and intimacy of emailing much better though.

Once again, I wonder, whether hanging out so much in cyber space deprives us of building real life relationships. For instance, instead of spending an hour typing my thoughts, I could have invested that time with family and friends who are afterall our primary support sytem. The second I typed the statement, I figure, there is less and less truth and validity in the statement. We all turn to cyberbuddies nowadays coz we love the idea of anonymity and ease. It is a paradox that at times, talking to strangers who know zilch about us, gives us more comfort than turning to those closer to us, distance as well as connections wise. Or are our family and friends too busy in this constantly accelerated world to pay attention to us? Are they hooked up to the internet, helping some cyberbuddy over you, their flesh blood - and vice versa.

I told you - ramblings ...I am not trying to prove the statement wrong either.
