I am beginning to think that blogs may have similarities to soap operas (or reality shows) Let’s see:

• both are addicting
• both are stories (truth or not)
• both are on-going
• both can be dramatic
• both have characters
• both bring you in daily for more

I’m sure the list could go on.  Ya know, it’s funny because I don’t have time to watch TV.  There aren’t any shows that I get excited about watching (but sometimes I wish there were so I could escape and veg out when needed).  What I somehow do find time for is my favorite blogs.  How different is a family blog from The Young and the Restless?  I bet the show even has a blog just incase you are online instead on on the couch.  Ok, I know that family blogs don’t talk much about the same type of drama but just as TV makes money on commercials, blogs make money on advertisements.  I love to see the new stuff on my favorite blogs, just as some love to see a new episode. 

What have I gotten myself in to?  : )

What will be the next “distraction?”

Do you think that I would be able to watch some TV if I chose that over catching up on blogs (or the oodles of research I always seem to find myself doing)?  One distraction or another, its all the same.  Unfortunately, I am prey and I have fallen right in the trap (and look, here I am with this blog here and this blog as ways to reach out and stay connected or keep track of my ramblings).  Needless to say, I don’t watch soap operas but I do read blogs.  I feel, it’s all the same…
