What's a blog?


So my friend asked me what a blog is? I gave her the generic answer, that it's derived from the words "web" and "log".

The two go together like chocolate and peanut butter! But then, I started thinking about people who lost their jobs over their blogs and how blogs are changing the face of journalism and even the way we percieve the world!

I placed it across the room on purpose; that way I'll have to get out of bed. I throw a shoe @ it. This morning was different. I rolled over and felt the sun caress my face like a lover I lost ages ago, heard the beautiful chirp chirp chirp-ing of a mother bird and her young, jumped out of bed, stretched and f
