I'm new to blogging, and it may be something I outgrow in a week or two, but I admit being ADDHDTV or whatever. Fact is, last week I never would have seen myself blogging at all. It's so 21-29, and I'm so 31 (years old). Not that I'm against it. If it weren't for narcissism, nothing would get done at all, ever! I've been working at a high school in Aurora, Colorado, and when I resigned last month, all the kids tried to persuade me to make a myspace page so that they could keep in contact with me. I went to myspace for the first time, posted a picture, and immediately got bored. Then last week, out of the blue, a good friend of mine in her twenties pressured me to be one of her blogging buddies. (You can see her blogs at http://deebucket.blogspot.com/ for amusing wit, cute pictures of kids, and what not to do when interior designing.)
So the dilemma and the topic for this blog is:
Is creating a blog what you do when you're too good for myspace?
My marketing professor thinks blogging is a fad that becomes obsolete when you turn 29.
I have a healthy self-esteem. Just ask me, but I doubt that anyone wants to know my opinion on subjects ranging from the East coast bias in sports to the cultural bias in standardized testing. I may study those things, but what good does blogging do for those issues I care about?
Will you blog when you're 31?

Personally, I've never felt so famous in my life, as to have you announce my blog page on none other than your blog page! While I have to agree with your statement 'blogging is just grad school for my space flunkies', I am still embarassed and ashamed that I do it at all. I just love it! I hope you never grow up, or this friendship is over!
