Lemonade and Rock 'n Roll

The funny thing about a blog is that everyone is going to read it. Well, maybe not everyone... in fact, maybe not anyone - but it differs from a journal in the very fundamental way that there's always the possibility that someone could read it. Most likely that person will be someone you know, maybe even someone that you have written or will write about. With a journal you are free to write whatever you want under the delusion that no one will ever read it, or that if they do it will be many years from now and whoever will read it won't really know you too well and anything you've written about is long forgotten. So at best a personal journal is interesting history, and, at worst, it is simply poor writing to be enjoyed by no one.

Thus, by offering a more contemporary and (hopefully) relevant record of one's life, the blogger is able to subject loyal friends and relatives (and the occasional net stalker) to potentially mediocre literature and is protected by international copyright laws in doing so.
