Inresponse to Paul. I'm not sure why more people read then write journals. I think that it may have something to do with people liking to know about others lives. I think there are a lot of people on the net who go on there to find information or to find out about other peoples lives. It is like watching Jerry Springer, Documenteries and Real world, wife swap and simalur shows. People get to see how other people live. But I think the majority of the people who watch them wouldn't want to be on one themselves.
If you think of a blog as an On line Journal then it starts to make more sense. First of all there are a lot of people who would never write a journal in the 1st place. Then if they do write a journal it is a private thing and you wouldn't want to share those private things with everyone on the web. Is a blog like that not really but that may be the perception. I think there are some people who don't want to share there life online. I can't blame them. But to read about someone elses is a differant story.
I think that there are other people who like to chat and IM. In chat I'm's and even message boards the contact is instant. If I state my thoughts in a chat then I will get a response back right away. Some message boards are like that. I have been to a few where as soon as there is a new message you get an email and you can respond to it through the e-mail. But with blogs it is hard to know if and if so who read your blog unless they respond to it in one of there messages. But the only way you know that is by reading every message. If there are a few members then that is ok. But can you imagine if there where a lot of people. I also think it may have to do with commitent. To have a blog means you have to post and read others blogs. If you don't go online everyday then it would be to much of a comitment.
These are just some reasons that I think. To really know you would have to ask the people who read blogs but who don't write them. They might respond. But since they don't write blogs they may not. One last theory: There are Readers and Writers and most readers aren't writers and vice versa but who knows.

Happy New Year [size=xxl] Happy New Year [/size]
Wow it is 2005 and on Monday I start my new job in the same company. Last Night I watched MTV's Iced out New year. It was kinda cool to see people all in white. There whare a few sexy ladies on the set. Um like Hilary and Lidsey Lohen. I really enjoyed Jimmy Eat World and Green Day's performances. Then I fliped to some of The Dick Clarkless dick clark. I did see some of the downtown celebration on TV so that is cool. Yesterday I also got to See Lemony Shictnets (however it is spelled) series of unforunate evernts. It was dark and funny plus I really enjoyed the art work in the end credits. Two movies I want to see are on tonight 50 first dates (saw at the show very good) and then at 10 Eurotrip. I'm a steelers fan but I hope the Bills can beat them on sunday, it should be a great game.

Resolutions I never make Resulutions can I can never keep them plus I never have good ones. Lets see there is get a girlfriend, be more social, stop whacking off or at least cut down, chill on the horneyness, give more to charity, eat more healthy food, cut down on the porn (ok so that one I did do some), Call my friends more often. But what ever I come up with never seems to work My life never seems to improve like I would like it to. I'm still just as messy as I always was, I'm still just as dirty. So why make resolutions you know you can't keep. I hope everyone has fun and enjoys tonight, I'll be watching MTV's Count down to the New Year.

OC New Years Since a Saw two posts about The OC I figured lets make it 3. First of all I didn't know they had an OC personality test. I would have no idea where to take it any ways. I admit that I like The OC a lot. I think it is a very good show and it is fun to watch.
I wish I could find someplace that I want to go for New Years Eve, but I can't. I Guess that I will just watch Fox's or MTV's New Years Eve Special by my self, oh well. It is not only in the US where they celebrate this holiday. I remember back when there was that whole Y2k scare and it was the end of the millenium sord of and they would show on TV the celebrations from all over the world and how they where differant and the same. I don't know how they celebrate it but isn't chinesse new year a verry big deal in china. If I remember correctly my cousin said that in Korea they ceelebrate Chinesse New Year. I don't remember the details but I do know that we are not the only ones who celebrate the coming of the new year.
