Should we respond with laser beams from our eyes or share the last batch of brownies with him?

Why blog? I ponder this question as the days go by and the things happen that I want to write about happen faster than I can keep up. Does one blog for amusement? To rant? To remember cute dialogue? To tell the slice of interweb that the blogger is exposed to what was for lunch (and when it happen)? Why? Does anyone care to read what bloggers blog on their blogs? Really, deep down, do you WANT to read all the updates on your flist?
I blog as thoughts stream from my mental storage.... An electronic extension of my journal and my quote collection. I blog to rant. To complain. To ask questions. To seek advice. To share everyday occurrences.
Inspiring emotion in the reader is a hoped for outcome... but stoicism works for me too (as long as you're reading my posts, right?).
No feedback expected, unless when I ask for it. I don't always blog with consistent continuity or give much in the way of chronological background details, but their will be details. Names get changed as the mood dictates, sometimes to protect the guilty -sometimes to remove prejudices- sometimes just to change the name.
This is not my first blog, but I feel like it's a clean unlined, loose bound, book. With my name on the cover. I cannot wait to fill the pages!
Woohoo! I'm very much looking forward to following your blog :D
ReplyDeleteme too!
ReplyDeleteand who knew, me too! :D Saw your FB post about this place and had to stop by. I was long a skeptic on the utility and point of blogs, but now I frequent one or two almost everyday, can't seem to get enough of them. One thing is true, the practice of blogging definitely lends itself to asking questions and thinking more thoroughly through thoughts (say that 10x fast!). Happy sailing through these bloggy waters, look forward to more posts! xoxo
