A trend?

      I've flirted with online blogs many times before, and when I was in high school, they were very popular. I imagine they are still rather popular amongst high school students today, unless they are all using twitter or some other web service we don't know about. At the same time I always kept a journal, where I kept my private thoughts. For a brief period of time, I merged the two, putting my private thoughts online for the world to comment on, and amazingly, I led an interesting enough life such that many wanted to read it. Or at least I had dedicated enough friends that would read my blog.
     I must admit that my life now is much less interesting, or at least, less interesting on a day to day basis. And then, on the occasions that it IS interesting (when I am living abroad) I often find that I would rather be living the moment than writing about it.
    So what shall I do with this blog? Well, despite my having changed a bit since my last entry in 2009 (quite a bit, it would seem) I like the idea of answering philosophical questions as they come to me, or at least opening them for discussion. This of course requires participation. So I solicit all of you, fellow bloggers, to get in on the philosophical question train. Let's examine life, shall we?
  Every entry from now on will examine a topic or question. I'll pick a few, and maybe we'll stick to a topic for several questions. Also... this may die out if there is little or no interest. 
  I'm interested in the topic of getting older and changing lifestyles. Any interest there?
