The blog I chose to follow is from a radio station, Edge 102.1. It is called Dani's Diary-A. I discovered this blog while listening to the radio one day and realized that music has a great influence in my life as I'm sure it does for many others. So I assumed this blog would be fitting and somewhat relevant to the class information despite the random vulgarity, crude humor (including the title) and strange posts. However, this blog did appeal to me much more than many others that I tried to follow. I like to think I don't take myself too seriously in my down time and neither does the blogger on this site.
I've come to realize that this blog is essentially Dani writing out something that has happened that is interesting, strange or hilarious that has happened during the week. I think it's similar to what we've studied in that it is a recounting of an event or situation that took place in the author's life. I've also realized that these recollections don't have to be profound or overly interesting. They are exactly what they are supposed to be, a memory or reflection. Even if it is about dreams, shopping and no cable t.v.
I find it interesting that I am actually interested in what she has to say. I would have assumed that I just didn't care for blogs or what other people have to write if it does not pertain to my interests or life. However, it is actually quite eentertaining to read about mundane ongoings in life. Much in the same way we read about someones life ongoings in our class text. It can be simple, to the point and humorous and still be life writing.
I would totally recommend this blog if you're interested in reading about something ridiculous, or pointless or just for sheer procrastination. It is strange, at times vulgar and mostly pointless but entertaining nevertheless!
