Most things aren't useful if no one else is using it.

Take phones, for example. One phone would be a waste of money if you'd have no one to call, won't it? But then, I suppose the first phone-owners had them just to say that they were rich and could afford such gadgets. Ha. Status symbol. Take a Sun Cellular subscription, for example. You won't be able to avail their free call/text promo if you don't know anyone else who has a subscription. Take blogs, for example. Your blog would pretty much be useless if no one else liked to read about somebody else's life.

But then again, a blog is primarily a journal, so who cares if no one reads it, right? It makes me wonder what the heck I'm doing here typing a blog when I have a pretty updated journal sitting on my desk. Maybe it's because I type faster than I write on paper, so what I'm writing can catch up with my brain. [side note: don't you just hate it when you're writing on paper, and when you reread it, several words are missing here and there?] Maybe it's because it's a known fact that my creative brain works better when I'm on the computer than when I'm writing on paper. Or maybe I'm just blogging because my friends have been nagging me about it for ages.

Goodness. I hate to say it, but I am a bandwagon rider sometimes, aren't I?

But then, everyone else is, too.
