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!

I’ve been thinking a lot about writing
these last few days

and wondering why I’m not…
guess that will do
as a subject matter eh?

I wonder why I’ve not finished “the story”?
I’ve not even finished moving the whole thing
over here…

I wonder if it’s medication
or lack of inspiration
or just plain laziness

or is it the fear that
should I write
what I really have to say
the whole family
and the friends and acquaintances
will quit talking to me
and I’ll be even more lonely?

the fadder suggests
I should go into business for myself
and he thinks I would have a great career
in writing
Harlequin Romances

I’m not so much
into the whole “throbbing member” genre
but the fadder suggests
that the genre has changed over the years
and I oughta be writing that shit
maybe he’s right

the blister suggests
that there’s got to be a place
for my particular kind of whacky sci-fi fantasy romance
kinda shyte
and for the story of my life
before I retired from it
all sick and shyte
and maybe she’s right?

a friend suggests
a writing workshop
and maybe she’s right

a long lost friend
reconnected with
as recently as yesterday
posts a comment
about waiting for a book
maybe she’s right

all I know
is that I’ve missed being in here
and I think
I’m finally getting to feeling well enough
to start again….

I just don’t know on what
yet
LoL
