I may royally suck at actually posting these things, but I do write them on the days I specify. In the nearly 4 ½ years I’ve been blogging, I don’t think I’ve ever explained exactly why I do it.

When I started blogging back in 2006, I made it my goal to blog daily—a goal I didn’t think I’d ever follow through with. My first 6 or so months of blogs were 99% crap, and—admittedly—they’re still mostly crap, but maybe only 80% or 85% crap now. I guess I started with the intention to have someplace to just ramble, but my blogs have sort of morphed themselves into a little external depository for all the extra crap running around in my head. Some of which is interesting, some of which is not.

Therefore, there’s no quantity vs. quality debate here. I completely admit that my blogs sacrifice quality for quantity. Some people claim that as one of the cardinal sins of internet writing, but I submit that the internet wouldn’t be the internet if people didn’t post crap with no content. I also think that letting things “flow” rather than just restricting oneself to post only when one has a perfectly polished entry is a lot more constructive, relaxing, and hilarious in the long-run.

So where am I going with this? I guess I’m just saying that I blog to blog. I blog to remain (arguably) sane. I share components of my life with the internet world, but I don’t do it because I expect the internet world to care. I really don’t care if people read these. It’s nice to know that some people do, and I’d be totally thrilled if some day a complete stranger commented and said they’d been reading on and off for awhile, but that’s not why I blog.

I blog because doing so has become part of me. I do it so I can have a written history of life and my progress through it, however random and non-focused many of the entries are.

So yeah, I guess that’s it.

I blog because…I blog.

Yay.
