Blogging vs. Writing

You'd think that blogging was the exact same thing as writing. After all, the only thing that's different is that instead of a pen paper, you have a computer. But blogging and writing are worlds apart, maybe even universes. When you're writing a paper on whatever subject your teacher gives you, you can only write the educational stuff, only what's there. But when you're writing a blog, you can write whatever you want to be there.
For example, let's say you're a kid writing a paper for social studies on World War I, and I'm writing a blog on the same thing. In your paper, you write "The assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne on June 28th, 1914, was the spark that set off the war. " Very exciting. But I get to write all that, in addition to commenting on how funny Ferdinand's mustache looked. I don't know, but somehow I can't see a social studies teacher (or you, for that matter) appreciating comments on person's facial hair in a paper that your grade depends on.
That's the thing about blogging, there aren't any rules for what you can and can't write. You can just type out every single thought that pops into your head, and it's totally ok. Also, there's no rough drafts that you turn in to be edited mercilessly with a red pen. You just type what you want to type and then it's out there. Once you click Post, your thoughts and writing can be accessed by anyone out there who stumbles upon it.
I'm not sure, but I think I kind of like this blogging thing.
