The Evolution of the Blog

I have to say, I had no idea what to blog about tonight.

But besides the fact that this is a grade, I really wanted to.  Why?  No really, why?  Let's be honest, at least half of the things we do for school we do because they will be graded.  We cannot (and will not) be biologists, physicists, chemists, writers, mathematicians, engineers, artists, and psychologists all at the same time in our adult lives, so we cannot honestly say we do the homework for the other subjects because we plan on pursuing them.  From what I can tell, I will not be a literary critic or professional writer in my later life (but who knows, I may have just jinxed it).  Nonetheless, I feel the need to blog.  So when I thought about "why," the answer was lingering right in front of me all along, and all I had to do was recognize it.

"Bobbie's Blog Banter."

Yeah that's right.  My main inspiration for blogging is the blog show, hosted by our humble English teacher.  Don't tell me that you don't think about your blog being mentioned in those first five minutes of English class.  I know I do.  I've had it in mind every time I've sat down in this chair and logged on to Blogger, especially with the expansion of the show over such a short period of time.  Think about it.  It all started in our dimly lit little room at the end of the English hallway.  Then we went on location to the library, the place where our blogs began.  And most recently, Ms. Serensky stood up from behind her desk, and addressed us in the stadium seating arrangement before the movie started.  I bet it's not long before we actually have the spot lights and theme song we jokingly alluded to when this all began.  So here's to hoping this post was witty enough, insightful enough, or ironic enough (in several ways...) to be on the show come Monday afternoon.
