I have a blog, as a lot of people do, and I find it a fun and amusing way to pass the time online. You can meet a lot of different people through a blog, some decent, some just a brick or two shy of a full load. Both are fun, and all are creative. I met one blogger who calls himself appropriately, “moron”. That is his blog name and why he chose such a name I will never fathom unless he realizes that the name fits him like a glove. Moron visits my blog every day and disagrees with every single thing I say. It doesn’t matter what it is, if I were to blog that the sky was blue and the grass was green, he would disagree. But that’s what makes moron who he is…a disagreeable old cuss.

The fact that he keeps coming back for more when he wants me to think I’m some kind of idiot, is remarkable to say the least. It just goes to show you that some bloggers actually fake hating a blog in order to spark a controversy of some sort between themselves and the owner of the blog. Weirdness in king in the world of blogging. I love the comments that other bloggers leave on my site and I always answer them as quickly as I can, but sometimes they don’t like the answers I give. The ones who are a lot of fun are the ones who keep up a running dialogue with me via email. I hate it when they disagree but won’t talk to me about it. That’s just no fun at all.

Bloggers are opinionated people, but they are also private people, and it is so much easier to share your personal opinions online when nobody has the slightest clue who you really are. The privacy aspect is what I find so appealing about blogging. You can let your hair down and be the self that nobody ever gets to see for a few minutes every day, and most of the time you can do it for free. So the morons out there can be as moronic as they wish, and you get the chance to laugh at them in the privacy of your own home. Or, you can laugh with them, whichever the case may be. Bloggers have a great sense of humor, unless they are political bloggers, in which case you might want to just steer clear.

In a blog environment, you can go to a thousand different situations without ever leaving your chair. You can visit a church and get a sermon, or watch the nightly news (according to moron), read poetry if you wish, take travel tours of foreign countries, watch videos, view pictures, laugh at jokes, and leave as many comments as you like. Some bloggers respond to your comments, others are rude and ignore you. Whatever the response, you take it in your stride and move on, until you get bored or disgusted, or have to get offline to go do something else, whichever happens first.

But all in all, blog people are basically friendly, and fairly easy going. You can tell which ones you should not mess with and which ones are really fun to mess with. But as long as it’s all in good fun, what harm can it do? You teach stuff and you learn stuff, and you just have a good time. That’s the kind of people who blog–the kind who like to have a good time.
