Curiosity and Originality

Along with being imperfect, I am also quite curious. For example, the other day I looked up on Youtube "How it's made: Mirrors" And now I know how mirrors are made. A few months ago I decided that blogging would be a rather gratifying and entertaining experience, so I came up with a blog name and outline and then never blogged. Today is April 25, 2012, and I am blogging for the first time. Now... do you know what a blog is? I didn't know exactly either (see, curious) and so I decided to Wikipedia the definition:

A blog (a portmanteau of the term web log) is a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Blogs are usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often are themed on a single subject. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog)

So now that we all know what a blog is... how does one go about writing one that is actually popular and not pointless or boring or useless? How do I keep a blog from being boring and how do I keep myself from acting like someone I'm not? 

Originality. As I have been thinking about this word for the past few minutes, I have grown to dislike it... y'see originality causes us all a problem... especially bloggers... what ON EARTH is there left to blog about? Nothing really I'd say... hair blogs are no longer original, fashion blogs are no longer original, family blogs are no longer original, and redhead bloggers are definitely no longer original. I am not the only creative, young red head out there longing for my thoughts to be heard... no, no, double no. 

So... is originality the point still? Maybe... maybe not... maybe the point is to be who I am and let the world decide for itself whether it will care about my thoughts or not... maybe I need to be me regardless of what others think or say... maybe being me is the most original I can be.
