Why Do I Blog?


I found a new blog site today as I usually do, through the comments I leave on other people's blogs. Shine's site is one of the more interesting ones out there. She has a humorous way of discussing the minutia of everyday life. It has real personality and I appreciate that. I just read a back post of hers where she asks why do people blog in the first place. I could have come up with something genius and insightful - a real inspiration to the kids out there wanting to start a blog of their own. However, my reasons just didn't come out quite in that vein. Choosing between taking the high road or being a smartass I, of course, picked the latter. (yeh big surprise - shut up Lisa, you were right). Upon reading my comment I was so impressed with myself that I had to do a post about a comment I made on someone else's blog for my blog. How sick is that? Wait..don't answer that. Tell me instead why you blog?

"I blog cause I am alone and my cat can't talk..yet. I am so pitifully needy that I require other people to tell me that octopus in the oceans or in aquariums freak the shit out of them as much as they do me. I like to hear the sound of my own writing in my head and because the judge said that ONE more fire and I am going away for good....Cal"

I blog because I enjoy sharing my opinions and hearing what other people have to say. I like showing others interesting things, or just having someone to listen to me besides my friends. I like making friends online, and I enjoy writing in my blog.

And Cal, you scare me.

I blog because I like the community here, and finding friends online that share interests, even some that are as varied as mine. And I like reading other's blogs for the same reasons. :)

Hey, wow! This is about me!

Thanks for the compliments that you paid my blog.

I love to blog. It makes me feel all connected to other people. It's great to meet new people and hear their stories.

That is, quite possibly, the lamest comment I've ever left. Lame!
