I've been TOLD - I am not a REAL blogger.... what?

Hi Folks,

For those of you who enjoy my blogs, Thanks, my audience source has jumped in recent months, even though I haven't written that much. "Outside of my joke stories that I send to readers digest, that never get published"..:-). Regardless, I think they're funny? lol.

Anyhow the topic at hand. I was out for dinner on Friday with Deanna and one of my Project Managers' and his GF from Toronto. First time we met her and she was lovely (wow I am getting old, using the word "lovely"...... where is grandma when you need to steal a word, right. geeeeeeeeeeeee).
It should be noted; She is from Toronto they are opinionated.. lol.. kidding..

Over dinner we enjoyed great conversation, which led to, for some reason or another , my GF brought up my blog. I didn't realize blogs were such a source of reading these days, people read blogs on everything for anything. When I told her what mine was about, (simple way for me to release thoughts and express some beliefs and or opinions).

"She explained how that wasn't a blog and I wasn't a blogger"

Jokingly of course, (I think???).

Her opinion was that personal blogs were more of an everyday type of thing, either for blogging personal happenings and for news, celebrities, etc, etc.
I knew information sources, group chatters, news groups and other such sources did use blogging for that; for me it seems with tweeter, Facebook and even bbm, people can get an update on everyday happenings fairly easy.

With that said, I did start blogging to also get my writing "juices" back (for lack of a better word). It has done that, however with career and other commitments I have not published as many blogs on topics that I would have liked. So maybe I will start using Blogging to form a dairy of sorts. Or maybe not!!!

In this day and age, everything that makes the internet (Cyber world) seems to have a long shelf life. Blogging such things would probably be interesting for family and friends after one has left for Heaven or Hell. (by the way still no clear winner).
