What is a Blog?

So, in need of blog posts, I Googled "perfect blog post" to try and learn how. I had just written something about music but didn't post it because in class we discussed that blog posts should be short and not rambling. I quickly realized that I was making a public thought-journal which, as far as I know, is not the purpose of the blogging assignment. After checking the syllabus and finding not much relating to the subject, I then Googled "difference between blog and facebook" and, to my shock, discovered that blog is short for Web Log, which the answerers on WikiAnswers said is essentially on online journal.

So...online journal....well, to be honest, I've never had a journal so here goes nothing. A couple weeks ago I went to the Festival of Colors at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork with my summer roommate Brandon and my friends Dallin, Haley, and Kaytee. The traffic was backed up for miles and we laughingly considered how odd it must be for the normally-quiet little city. When we at last got there, I saw people coming back and thought that this must be the Utah equivalent of Woodstock. Within a couple hours I was completely drenched with thrown color and, gosh, it was SO AWESOME!  For a guy who had never been allowed to dye his hair (my parents always worried that it wouldn't come out) I am most happy to report that my golden locks had turned a wonderful shade of purple. Overall, a completely fantastic time and I cannot wait to go next year.
