Obtaining a penpal
The purpose of this blog is to see if I can attract any penpals. So, I am going to describe what a penpal is, and then include my penpal ad, as it appears on a commonly seen in a penpal site.
A penpal is a friend, that you communicate with using written words. There are two modes of communication, live and deferred. Each has its advantages, and both should be used. Some people have a natural preference for one or the other. And, sometimes the logistics of someone's life forces this choice. Deferred communication is done with emails. Emails can be written at any time, and read by the other person at any time. Live communication is done using a messenger. The most commonly used are Yahoo and Windows Live (MSN). There is also Gmail and AIM. Both people need to be online at the same time to communicate in this way.
Here is my penpal ad from the site www.penpalsnow.com :

Hi.
I am looking for serious email penpals who write long emails. I am a young at heart 50 year old man living in northern New Jersey.
The three reasons why I love to have penpals are (1) I have a need for self discovery. I write about myself and expect my penpals to ask me questions so that I can elaborate. I am very open about myself and no question is considered off limits. (2) I have a need to love people. I tend to become emotionally attached to my penpals after a while. But I do not put demands on people. I just allow it to happen naturally. (3) I have a need to live interesting lives. My life is rather dull right now. Therefore, people who can write me stories from their life, past or current, are highly regarded.
I am very intelligent, organized, and articulate. Nevertheless, I can also be quite nosy and blunt towards others. I do not care about physical beauty in others or myself. I look for spiritual beauty in people. I am a seeker of truth and have formed my own unique set of beliefs. I strive to understand the nature of God and creation, but I adhere to no single religion.

"Penpals are the path to world peace"
I believe you're on the path to true peace. How can there be peace without understanding? How can there be understanding without communication? The easiest way, nowadays, for people in different areas of the world to communicate is via the web.
Your idea is simplistically wonderful. I hope it catches on.
