Entry for August 21, 2007- why blog?

I sometimes wonder why blog at all? Is it ego (duh)...yes, it is, and it can be also a way to share ideas with others, a form of self publication...it can also serve as a means to offer out a glipse of ones life for whatever educational or entertainment value that holds for others, again back to self publication. Imagine a world of budding Hemingways, with no obstructive editors sheilding the unwary reader from the good undiscovered authors; yet by the same token, some pretty awful writing is also out there, waiting to be seen...not unlike this blog as a fact!

OK, now for todays adventures of being me....I had to go in to renew my driver license, which was pretty easy, verify some information, read the eye chart, and pay the money, then got to the picture window. Standing in line, I noticed there was a mirror for people before they got to the camera, on the back of the background thingy. As I stood there, someone opened the door to the driveway behind us, and a gust of wind blew in, messing my hair...I mean BAD. Then the girl says"NEXT!" and is glaring at me, so I lean over the rope to sort of see myself in the mirror, and finger comb my hair...and giving some goofy teenager a chance to look down my shirt, then I went and stood behind the line and FLASH, she says here is your receipt. I asked"So now I am stuck with that picture for the next 5 years?" and she smiles and says "Next!"
