The point of blogging

What do you blog for? Is it because you're "Itching to get stiching?" Or maybe you want to "Stamp with Elizabeth?" While browsing through other peoples blogs with titles no more original than Weaving Spirit, Bumpy Beads, and Baking at Home... other than the one blog titled "Kelly Loves Whales"; this blog really had no purpose whatsoever, which was refreshing :) It hit me though, why are all of these thousands of people blogging everyday and rambling aimlessly on subjects such as sewing? Yeah, sewing's fun I'm sure, maybe not my thing... but definitely a good hobby. What I'm curious about however, is why people aren't using that free time to do whatever it is that they love? In this case... sewing.

This is one of Barbara Blundell's new bags.
Bet you're interested aren't you?

What I'm saying is what in the world motivates us as humans to set aside time to talk about ourselves? Are we all arrogant, cocky, self-centered jerks? Or is there something else? If this were the case I would have absolutely no hope for our world, nor our future as a society.

However, I do not believe that is the case. Humans have a need for a sense of community, as well as fellowship with people similar to themselves. Social networking today has become some what of a mandatory practice. People rely far to heavily on the internet. Did you know they actually have counselors for people who own computers that have crashed and they lost all their data. Some people litterally go into depression after losing their computers and social networking, that is how bad our society is.
All these crafty blogs also made me feel hobbiless... I believe I was just pressured by a website. Hmm... Anyways, this was just my two cents on humans, our culture, and sewing. Short, sweet and to the point.
In order to make myself feel like I have a hobbie of any sort, Im going to be posting pictures each week on friday to keep you all up dated without spending my whole life writing on this thing :) I shall call it Fantastic Photo Friday :)



By the way, this entire Blog Post is hypocritical and true, yet I do wish I could sew well.
Probably should've warned you.
