Is this a forum for discussion, or a stage with a spotlight on me free to say what I want, but blinded to the knowledge of who is listening?

But really, what is a blog?
I know more people read this now and because of that I've changed the way that I write. Now I do "updates," with a brief pondering every once in a while. Some people can so successfully write about other things: books, films, travels, fashion, gardening tools, and bring up the big themes of life without actually saying it. I hope that in some way this is what I do, but other times I feel I just need to come right out and say what I've been thinking. If blog entries are any glimpse into a person's life, I used to be much more thoughtful, artistic, poetic, and now I just go places. I'm also thinking of discontinuing the automatic flow of posts to Facebook.
I'm on vacation this week and I already tonight I've been writing a lot of thoughts that I really want to share and hear other perspectives on. I think my current stint as an English teacher and reading teenage poetry is encouraging me to write more.

I'm listening/reading. If you do decide to do less facebook and more blog, I think it'd be great.
I have had a couple of blogs but they both died. Sure, they still exist, but I don't update them. That said, yours is more interesting and cool than mine were.
From a fellow temporary English teacher, I like reading your writing. And I don't know how to use commas, sorry.

Ian, yes I took it in Italy last summer, and polarized it
Hi Amy, greetings from St. Petersburg! I've been following your blog for awhile, but you've been updating more recently, so I thought I'd say hi. I was actually in Moscow for one day and was trying to remember who from blogging lives there.
