Why do I like reading blogs so much?

I must confess. I thoroughly enjoy reading other people's blogs... It's almost an addiction. I find myself checking out their pages daily (sometimes several times a day if they have not updated their site yet... yikes!) to see what yummy piece of news they've got today. It's like reality TV on the internet but totally not the same...

I'm personally not a big fan of reality TV. They drive me nuts. Especially the shows about crazy people doing stupid things and then getting all dramatic about it... (a.k.a. Farmer Needs a Wife. Seriously??? Who watches a bunch of clueless city chicks race tractors and lug bales of hay around in high heels?)

However, I love blogs. They allow me a glimpse into the world of someone else (who I may or may not know) that I wouldn't otherwise have. What funny, thought provoking, outrageous, fascinating thing are they going to say, do, think, and blog about next? You can be sure that I'll be tuning for next week's episode of Blogville.
