a friend (John Rivera at Urban Thought) recently asked the following:
Why do YOU blog? Why do YOU write, if you do? I would like you to tell me, right here and now, what YOUR thoughts are. Because if nothing else, I’m forever curious.
here’s my response:
I blog to keep myself from exploding…or imploding
one of my greatest life challenges has always been my penchant for over sharing and on a blog I can do so with a supposed/suggested anonymity – people who don’t know me can read and devise their opinions of who and what I am…sometimes they get weirded out when they actually meet me because they don’t realize that the person I am on line is different than the one I am face to face…I think when I blog…I try not to concern myself with mundane things like correct punctuation or grammar…I just “virtually” open my mouth and blow it all out…
Blogging has brought me friends and cost me friends…cos sometimes I can say things virtually that I can’t bring myself to say face to face….but mostly (as the VOD would say) I blog to keep my foufou valve from ‘sploding!
