It's been a while since I've posted to my blog. In the mean time, Consider It Blogged went off-line, Matthew purchased a new car and found himself a new job, and we've turned a new year. Wow. It's been busy for all.
Are blogs egotistical? Perhaps, but I don't prefer to look at it that way. Blogs are the literary equivalent of reality t.v, which are also so popular among people these days. The mundane parts of life have value. Not great value, but value from daily, reshaping experiences.
A famous writer (the name alludes me) once said that books offer a glimpse into worlds we can never expect to visit. And similarly, a christian proverb extols the virtues of "walking a mile in another man's shoes." Both of these authors allude to the true value of a blog: we gain insight into the life of another in order to have an outside perspective on our own that we couldn't otherwise gain through reflection. We need actually live in another's shoes to get this new sense of awareness.
