Best part of having a blog? An excuse to ignore homework. :) Our parents will forgive us because we are sharing the knowledge that we have learned. Like, what exactly is an essay, and why bloggers are the essayists of the 21st century.
An essay is an inconsistent text, with many digressions, unorganized and wandering, from a personal point of view. It's purpose is to bring pleasure or humor. They are skeptical, anti-academic, anti-Ciceronian and personal. However, they do have a respect for truth.
Basically, an essay is an excuse for people to hear themselves talk. Or, in a blogger's case, type. Not all are like that (read Virginia Woolf or G.K. Chesterton for some examples), but the majority are. We will try to bring pleasure and humor, not digress too much, and respect the truth. We will also try to say some things that may actually be relevant to your lives.
We won't tell you every intimate detail of our daily lives. We won't pass on every funny story. We won't even write about every genius epiphany we have regarding knowledge, God and truth. But, we will post when we can, share what we feel you will enjoy and tell you some things that we're learning on our "Quest for What Lasts." (Thanks to Belmont Abbey Orientation)
