This whole blogging thing

I think it's quite funny that by doing a blog and by publicly posting your inner most thoughts you are therefore in turn putting a high value on what goes on in your own head. So because of this would it be fair to say that millions of people across the world are day by day becoming increasingly more arrogant with the growing confidence in the importance of their own words and knowledge?
Maybe I'm being over analytical.... :-
What's going on today? I just want to ask one question. Whay are we constantly trying to be like other people in our deeds? Granted we need to be Christ like in all that we do as Christians. But in terms of musical writing styling or novel writing or comedians everyone is a combination of predecessors. I spose that as an artist or creative individual your work will almost always be compared and placed next to the work of others that have gone before you. But why is it that critics feel the need to pigeonhole everyone? Is it because of our modern culture? Do we as consumers need the comfort and knowledge that what we are listening to or indulging ourselves in is an extension of our current culture or base of operations creatively? (what a mouthful!)

So I therefore challenge any artists including myself who are reading this or just passing through to set out to do the following: Not to re-write history with what you do - but to indeed WRITE history.

You don't go to your friends 'Oh you're exactly like Paul fromthe Bible' or 'You're character traits are reminiscent of Esther crossed with John the Baptist'. So why paint artists and aswell individuals with the genre brush.
How can this effect our personal lives? Christian or not I suppose my only answer would be that we must instead of modelling ourselves on the individuals in newspapers or magazines we must model ourselves on Christ. Old news isn;t it.
Just goes to show that I am re-writing this stance of critical thinking.
Argh philosophy sucks.
