Nothing like IN YOUR FACE.....



OK, so a friend of mine, (who will also remain nameless despite the fact he is an Oiler fan, but to his salvation also a Bomber fan), responded (kind of) to my previous blog questioning the very institution of Blogging. His basic response is to keep in touch with friends and family who are far away and to keep them updated on their life.

That is absolutely cool, awesome and UN-gay. (Which is no longer an argument of mine concerning blogging - gay that is). HOWEVER......my friend MISSED the point and essence of my question which I will conveniently re-phrase here again; Has Blogging taken you away from in-your-face inter-action with people (when possible)? For example, when you want to know what's up with someone, do you pick up the phone first, or check their blog first? For another example, when you wonder how life is going with a friend, do you conveniently check their blog and assume all is COOL, or do you schedule a lunch and chat it up in person to find out the REAL story?

Do not get me wrong, there are definitely GREAT reasons to BLOG or check BLOGS out, as has been noted. Some are even just plain enjoyable and funny to read (unlike this one)?! I was just making us all think, and obviously I did to some extent.....I also am not free of this problem as well. ALL I am saying....is give peace a chance John Lennon - Beatles.....I mean let's get back to basics.......as titled, nothing like good old face-to-face contact!

In conclusion, no one who is, has been, or will continue to blog are 'gay'......perhaps just the certain team affiliations in which they associate. ;)

And Heather McMillan....welcome to CALGARY......home of the almighty Calgary FLAMES. Be sure to ask one of us big, burly gentlemen to accompany you should you have to drive anywhere NORTH of this fine city. (Edmonton is especially scary I am told).
