Sound of one blog written
Monologues
Kenneth Rexroth, listening to our conversations, said: "You don't know how to talk to each other, you just exchange monologues." He hit upon a trait of Central Europeans (not only Poles?). But we are aware of it and it makes us uneasy, for the personal line and the tribal line intersects here. Me? Or the civilizations in which I was raised?"

Are these blogs just monologues? Especially if there are no comments (hint, hint)? And if they are monologues AND there is no audience, then aren't these blog entries merely acts of verbal masturbation? And, if that's the case, I'm sure I'm committing some level of sin, at least according to the Catholic Venial-to-Mortal Sin scale. What contrition should I be carrying out?
