Is Blogging an off-shoot of Reality TV?

Is blogging a tendril, appendage or kindred spirit of "reality TV?" Is it tempting to reveal the most intense parts of the day onto to an electronic soapbox? My worry, is what will happen to the sanctity of the diary or journal when there isn't enough time to write into the private, tangible and archiveable part of our existence? If it is broadcast to the public sector, then what mystery is really unvieled when it is read decades later?

I'll continue to write about food, it's my entertainment ...

Today was not orchestrated with balance in mind. Dinner was cheese and crackers, some grocery store sushi and a tortilla filled with rice and cheese. Not ideal, not normal, but I didn't much care.

For some people, it might be Cheez Whiz and Chicken-in-a-Biscuit crackers, or those little shrimp cocktail things in the glass, or plain pepperoni slices and Peanut Butter Captain Crunch.

Lunch made much more sense. Soup and salad. But oh, what a salad! Ceasar Salad made with baby lettuces and housemade rockin' dressing and warm polenta croutons. Soup was Celeriac-Leek drizzled with white truffle oil. Nice! At the Starlight Wine Bar - always a treat!
