What exactly is the draw behind posting blogs? With journals, I imagine most people write them so they can communicate something they are feeling or thinking without others reading it and judging it. That isn't the case with blogs. Is it so people can talk about what is on their mind and get attention for it? I think some people write things here assuming that no one will read them. I cant make that assumption. I suppose its just a way to keep those who know us informed and introduce us to those who don't. Anyone who has particular insight into blogging is welcome to post.

In my case, at least today, a degree of boredom is what has motivated me to write. Hopefully soon I will get a call from one of the hospitals I applied at saying that they have received official confirmation that I am not a registered sex offender, international terrorist, or crazed meth addict. (I know this, you probably know this, but they need it in writing from someone who is considered to be an authority, whoever "The Authority" may be.) I am scheduled for orientation at one of them for next week, but there is a linear progression to go through before I get to that point. I am ready to work, and get some experience with patient care.

I sit here, listening to Sinead O'Connor singing (Marcus Garvey, off of her Throw down your arms Cd) just kind of pondering blogging, life, work, play and all that separates us from one another. This nebulous thing we call "reality" is both dismaying and amusing. The lengths that we will go to to preserve the illusions of life are certainly laughable. It's either laugh or cry sometimes.
