Why Blog??

Too disenchanted with religion! Can't afford a therapist! Read one too many self-help books! When a young, MTV generation 20something year old searching for a path/purpose in life seeks a method to assemble the jumbles of thoughts, emotions and opinions that wander through his mind, what does he do? He blogs!!

Writing personal diaries is just soooo 'last millenium'. Why write for yourself, when you can air your laundry to the world? Besides, they say writing is never really for the author. It's all the about the readers. Exactly who "they" are is about as plain as quantum physics.

Blogging can lead down any of two possible paths:
  1. You realise that you're not as alone as you thought you were. There are others out-there who experience similar disjointed wavelengths as yourself.
  2. As weird and unique as your thought patterns are, there's someone out there whose thoughts are even odder, darker, creepier, and/or more 'special' than your own.

Seems like a win-win situation, huh? What possible catch could there be? Time will tell all I guess. Because if there's one thing in life I'm certain of, it's that there's ALWAYS a catch!

Nothing is free in this free world!!!
