I don't really know why. My husband says I have too much time on my hands. Time for a part-time job or volunteer work. I like the time that I've been able to find new interests and sites on the internet. Places like eBay, Flickr, MySpace, and of course blogs. I get most of my news from blogs like Huffington Post, Crooks and Liars, and Think Progress. I've traveled around the world with Flickr and other photo blogs.
Why do we post anonymously to blogs? I want to share common ground with others who have the same interests and causes. Most of us are around all kinds of people face to face everyday who don't know us. Some of us can only be at home for some reason. It's nice and easy to happen upon a blog by chance, like I do, from people all over the world and find someone who shares some of the same things you do.
I think it's time to slow the brain down from all those sound bites and read again. My motto will hopefully be "post often but short". Sort of like my e-mails to my son. Like I said too much time.
