You Got Talent, Kid!

It always amazes me how many really talented people there are in the world. It just proves that everyone possesses some talent of some kind.

With the advent of the Internet we are introduced to more talent than ever before. We saw it on television, heard it on recordings, and applauded it at concerts, etc., but the talent always belonged to those people, the gifted others, the ones who were famous, or about to be...

One of my favorite ways to waste time introduce myself to some of the talent that's out here in Blogsville is to blog-hop. I think we all do it. I go to a blog on my Blog List and randomly click a link on theirs, and so on. There are some really fine writers, humorists, poets, and thinkers on the web, and I'm not referring to the big names, I'm talking about people like you, and you, and you.

It's encouraging to know that the web has created more interest in reading and writing as self-education and self-expression. I can remember only a few years ago when it wasn't this way. But more importantly, we're communicating across miles, across states, across nations, and across cultures. If we're not at the dawn of a new renaissance, then I don't know it is. Whatever, I like it.

"We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent
which we do not possess, than to be praised
for the fifteen which we do possess."
- Mark Twain
