bloggers of the world unite, we have nothing to lose

i'm online even if i don't want to be online because i'm still on my CSI marathon (since yesterday). but i'm downloading The Way You Look Tonight both Rod Stewart's version and that of Tony Bennett's. talk about being O.C. i don't want to go offline until i've finished downloading these mp3s.

so while waiting for excruciating minutes, i've been bloghopping my way around blogspot users journals. i've been a livejournal user for more than 2 years although i initially started blogging with blogger. so this new domain of blogspot bloggers is new to me and it's good to find out that that there are a lot of bloggers out there out of the livejournal domain. so anyway, it's amazing how journals (whether digital or by the notebook) can be windows of people's souls. it's amazing to read bits and pieces of people's minds and even sometimes catch yourself saying, "hey! i feel the same way!" or hear the opinions of others which they could not have let out in the open if it weren't for the wonders of blogging.

i've always been the "i-have-something-to-say-regarding-this-matter" kind of person. i've always been observant of the things happening around me. if you read the young-adult book called "The Watcher" where there was this young man who just sits on the steps all day watching the people at the beach- marveling on the children he sees playing, the mother taking care of her child as she gets a tan, the father who is walking his toddler son, and the teenage boy who goes for a walk along the shore all day. that kind of observing. he doesn't participate in these activities. he just sits there all day watching people. the difference with me is that i do participate once in a while. but sometimes i just let it stay inside my head because watching people is enough for me to know that the world is still turning. people's minds are amazing and we are so different yet so alike in so many other ways.

when i read blogs, it's like reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (Steven Chbosky) only these blogs are the journal versions of normal people just like you and me.

for me, the writer and the thinker in me are able to quench their thirsts into pondering on things that are rather left inside the mind and because of the wonders of blogging, i get to share it with the world through the beauty of writing.

and what do you know? my downloads are almost finished. have a restful sunday.
