Learning while you still can.

Ok, so reading back on an earlier blog made me realise maybe i was a big harsh on this whole blogging thing.

I believe i stated "I hate Blogs. I hate people who keep blogs".

Now... while im not the biggest fan of blogs... well, the majority of blogs, some are very fucking entertaining.

The reason i have changed my mind recently is dependant on a little story, which i well tell you now. So sit back, relax and take your goddamn cursor off the "Back" button.

I have a mate, a pretty good mate, let's call him Coop. Now, Coop is studying Law/Commerce at university, which he does very well at. Thing is... he hates his degree. He constantly bitches and has a massive rage over how bad and demanding his degree is. I keep on telling him, "Look on the bright side... at least you have a great career path to follow".

This does not help.

His degree is VERY academic, no room for crativity and is extremely black and white. Either it's legal or it isnt. It works or it doesn't. It's right or it's wrong.

He craves creative outlets. So much so, that just talking to him in a nothing conversation can lead you either down a path of elaborate lies that will end in you trying to figure out what is real and what isn't, or it will go down a massive highway of ideas he has saved up for various projects, be it film, writing, physical... whatever.

He just... NEEDS... an outlet.

And that's what i see blogging as now. Not just a vanity explosion of people's desire to be seen and heard and some kind ignorance to other people actual interests. But as an outlet for people who have none.

It's a free easy way for people to express anything at all. To sit down and write all the things that their life won't let them.

I...

I kind of like that.
