What's In A Blog?

So I'm kinda wondering what this whole blog thing is about anyway. Oh, it's fun to tell an amusing anecdote occasionally, and I enjoy soapboxing about various subjects, but I hear that many people simply blog to share their life. I'm not sure if my life is even that interesting outside of the much-exaggerated tales of woe or battle between myself and various everyday happenings.
I'm still working this out. Maybe this will induce me to do more things to prove to a blog reader that I do, in fact, have a life. Possibly. Or I could just write about mundane things, like how I got a Laptop Holder for my netbook in the mail yesterday...it even has a drink holder and cooling fans! Yes, that's just what a reader would want to take time out of their day to be informed about. Or possibly not...

So I think this blog will be a mix of the mundane, humorous thoughts, mindless drivel, deep reflections, annoyed responses, and the like. That way the title really becomes appropriate. and I can sit and type away about how tough life is now that the left click button on my netbook has ceased to function, and it will be ok... or maybe how the power input on the netbook switches between battery and A/C on it's own... or how the USB ports are taking coffee breaks without telling me first, causing scandalous amounts of data to corrupt itself because I was working on something.
See, it's already intriguing...
