  • What's the point

    What is the point, IS the point.

    Why bother to write. Most anything I find interesting has already been "blogged" by someone else... and usually they have done a much better job at it than I could ever hope to. So why blog at all?

    For the comments? Not hardly. Comments are not a fair indicator of the readibility or reliability of the post. Perhaps they can be consisded a fair estimation of content only if  racy, raunchy, riotist, racist, heart wrenching or _____________.  Yet that not necessarily true.  I don't need or crave the attention.

    I've never written in anonymity. I've always assumed that somebody out there is going to know who I am. Those who know me, know I write as I speak. The style gives me away. Those with a mediocum of sense simply have to refer to my "handle". No imagination in that one, as I've said many times. So truth and life path must be followed. No other way when family and pastor check in from time to time. I admit that I do use the occasional crass or crude phrase, but I'm human and faulty lol.

    Connectivity.

    I remember a lot about those handfull (ok, at least two handsfull) of people that I read and follow consistantly. I DO care when you're down. I DO feel your hurt when you lose a loved one. I laugh and cry and jump for joy with you. I even get jealous from time to time. I miss that some of the most honest and transparent witers have fallen off the grid.

    So I've decided that I will continue to write as I please. If you feel I've copied you, I'm sorry. If my opinion runs contrary to yours, I'm glad. At least we are all free to have opinions similar or opposite or somewhere in the middle. I DO not have the right to tell YOU how to think... but I Do have the right to tell you why I think as I think. And so do you.

     

    This is MY blog and MY forum. I do this for me even when no one else reads my posts.

     

    Regardless, (yes I know that is the correct English... yet something in me has always liked the sound of IRregardless).

    I've avoided certain subjects because I've strived to avoid conflict. Because certain words are 'triggers' to rest of the blogging community. Any number of people out there are guarenteed to react with lips blazing and tongue wagging, eyes popping on the edge of a heartattack

    Obama.... AAARRGGHHH     blah blah blah blast swear question your parentage....

    Too bad, so sad. Go cry to someone who cares.

  • I struggle with the same question: why write?  Not only here but in my life in general.  Writing without an audience seems pointless to me -- an exercise in self-amusement.  But that's just me.  I guess I'm too pragmatic.  I do respect and admire people who can write without an eye on who's reading.

  • @ideaguy - That was some rant, wasn't it?  Reading it now after the passage of time, it seems so unlike me. But sometimes having a good rant is carthartic.
