Blogging about blogging...
I've been reading a lot of different blogs lately, and it seems that there's a lot of talk about bloggers, and well, just blogging in general. Is it just me? Either this has been around for a while and I'm just slow, or it seems to be a popular topic of discussion. Why?
Apparently a lot of different people who do not blog aren't sure why people decide to start up in the first place. I always say, it's either something you get right away or will never understand.
Personally, I like Used Hack's reasons for him taking to the computer and introducing the world to his words. It's definitely not about fame (although I do get a kick every time I check my stats and see a different flag on the list of new readers), being popular, or getting comments. It's just some place for me to vent, rant, and babble on and on about random things that go on in my small world. It's that simple. If someone else happens to stumble upon it and likes whatever I happen to be going on about, that's fantastic. I love relating to people and hearing what the have to say.
Ever since the second grade, I've been writing. Always. It's an amazing outlet. To be able to take up a pen or sit at a keyboard and just let words pour from your brain onto paper or a screen is just, well, fun. It's really one of the very few things that I'm semi-decent at and really enjoy doing. Perhaps one of these days it may turn into something else. I've always wanted to write for a living. Make money for writing and having others genuinely like it! Crazy!
Not only that, it gives me something to do while I'm at work, aside from day dreaming about flinging myself out the window. I guess you could say that blogging for me is a life saver then.
