..on Blogging!!!

Even though the written word's about a couple of thousand years old, the need to document our activities as a species as well as observations of our world predates our being. For our coming into being in a preformed or evolving world, depending on what school of human derivation you subscribe to, betrays the presence of a larger force(or forces) at work in the universe; making it painfully obvious that we exist largely by providence. Painful because the modern man has made knowledge his weapon for taking control of the universe; taming it so that what would ordinarily have been accepted as Nature's prerogative 50 years ago is today predeterminable based on what we know. Wish our forefathers had come with a manual for mankind.
Proud beings that we are, apparently irreversible processes like aging and its ultimate outcome of demise become targets for our know-about/tweak-around approach to life and its processes. Should we succeed in identifying and reversing the natural mechanisms responsible for aging or should we work out a means of successfully transferring a being's collective consciousness into another being such that a body switch would be more or less like a change of clothes, we would have achieved physical immortality; an unsettling feat but a feat nonetheless.
Till then, however, the transfer of knowledge from one generation of dust-dwellers to the next must go on and the word, whether written, spoken, sung or acted out remains the trusty old vehicle for that task. It remains the root of all forms of human communication; ubiquitous yet irreplaceable. Even the hearing- and speech- impaired have words. Their presence denotes consciousness while their paucity in most societies is regarded as an anomaly(talking about words)
What the f**k's this all about anyway and how does it relate to bloggin'? I'll tell you. Blogging became popular about 5-7 years ago and now almost everyone writes on the web. Sadly though, not everyone writes to say something if u know what i mean. Makes me wonder if their objective's to live an intentionally public life and web logging becomes the tool to achieve this end (What wouldn't Britney trade to be in your shoes?). So me thinks the purest use of bloggin' (bearing in mind the fact that it's basically mass communication) would be pass across a message. Just my take ..... Lemme know wot u think.
