I too have a lame-ass blog

Wow. My very first blog. I imagine one day in the future my children and their children's children will be issued these at birth (along with a pair of moon boots and some SPF 400 sun-block). Think about it - every single person on the planet will have an ongoing record of all their thoughts, ideas and petty grievances from birth to death (for the purpose of this scenario, "every single person" means "every single person born in an industrialized, first world nation").

So what is the best part about the blog? Is it how it allows the average man or woman to have their voice potentially reach millions of people, all over the world? Is it the way that cutting-edge political blogs have reshaped the way we look at the traditional media, cutting out the middle man and disseminating inforamtion as soon as it happens, raw and unedited? Not even close - it's the revisionist history that appeals to me. Like this one time, a friend of mine had said some... questionable things about her mother online. Long story short - turns out old people know how to use computers as well. Who knew? So what did my friend do when faced with this awkward situation? What any self respecting historian would do - she erased the post. Let's see you prove my incriminating words now.

So that's why I love the blog. It's everyone's own personal selective history.

And for the record, my Mom is fan-tastic.
