Out of my blogging closet

Just had dinner with some good friends and somehow the topic of blogging came out. To my surprise all of them have not heard of it. Interestingly enough, my wife has not either!! Well my wife actually does, sort of.. when she asks me what I’m typing on the computer, I just tell her that i’m journaling. Today was the first time she saw my site and she said, “ok you’re right, blogging is journaling.”

After I made an attempt to explain to my friends that blogging is basically like journaling about anything and everything, one of them said to me, “Hey man, you need someone to talk to? You feeling lonely?” I just started laughing, because that is probably a very common view of blogging.

Why do I blog? Well for me its more of a therapeutic session, to just put my thoughts down on paper. My wife always tells me that my mind is always active and thinking about everything and anything. Before you think I have ADD or something weird like that, I don’t. Sometimes when issues arise, writing them out cements those thoughts or arguments.

So I’m out of my blogging closet. You may be wondering isn’t the purpose of blogging so that others can view your blog? Well for me, I’m not really too interested if anybody reads it. As much as I would hope that my blog becomes a two-way conversation, I’m perfectly happy downloading all my thoughts down just to sort of empty (clear) my head.

So Euge, Lei, Robynne, Drew — if you happen to browse my little corner of cyberspace, try not to laugh too hard! If anything post your 2 cents on the comments!
