A week or so ago I discovered that a friend of mine had a blog -- a Blogger blog. With those damned word verification things at the bottom. I signed up and got a blogger account so that I could bypass the word verification because I hate those things with a passion (something about the way the letters are garbled always bothers me). It didn't work -- even Blogger members have to go through the verification process. Meh.

However, when you sign up, they walk you through the process of setting up a Blogger blog. So I had this blog just sitting there.....

It's like having a blank notebook, really. You can't just leave the damned thing blank, even if you only draw pictures of your history teacher with buck teeth and an arrow through his head on the first page you have to do *something* with it.

So I wrote. I wrote one personal post -- about why I write -- but I am not writing about my family, or day to day events. This is not a journal. This is a blog. Well, actually, it's a place for me to practice my writing.

Tonight I ended up writing something I really rather liked, and rather than simply repost the whole thing over here, I thought I'd link to it.

You may be right, that I am being too hard on people, but I am including myself in this -- I think as a species we tend to prefer easy answers to hard.

That's true, and that's a bit of a driving force behind some of my current art projects. The part I was nitpicking about was the idea that chance playing a role was false. Chance often plays a role. The answers provided by chance are rarely easy ones, though. ;)
