What is a blog?

From Wikipedia...

A blog is a website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diary. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

The term "blog" is a contraction of "Web log."

 Pretty much sums it up for all of us here at 2o2p. Some use it as a means to entertain the rest of us with humorous photos or news stories. Some as a therapy of sorts, being able to get the frustrations and heartaches of the everyday struggles of the "real world" off their chests. A huge community of shoulders to cry and lean on. There are those who use it as a platform to announce to the world their triumphs and accomplishments, big and small. Others do the rest of us a service by keeping us up to date on all the gadgets, trinkets, bells and whistles that enhance and enrich those few hours we set aside for ourselves.

 I like to think that my blog is  a place where I can show the community who I am. Not with an outright "Hi, my name is...." (Dave by the way) type of narrative but by posting pictures and videos and stories that matter to me. What my interests are, what I find funny, that sort of thing. By now, those who have read my blog know that I love horror movies, like to look at pretty woman(just cause your on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu), and am proud as hell of my children.

 Who knows, maybe in the future I'll be able to get my hands on a digital camera and start posting pictures of myself, my hometown, that sort of thing. A small slice of just who the warrior is. Right now though I'd better get off my ass and get to the post office before it closes. The new Stephen King novel is waiting there for me(yep, I like to read too).

Here's todays flashback of movies I loved as a kid(still do, not gonna grow up)
