I Blog

I blog to express. Blogging, for me, has become a habit. Not a daily one, but I still do it habitually. Meaning, regularly. Well, it’s not that regular. But who cares? People subscribed to the mailing list get updates whenever a new essay’s posted, anyway. So, moving on, I find this new sort of online journalism a form of expression. A freer form of expression which has no censorship. I say whatever I wanna say. I write what’s going on in my mind, whether it makes sense or not. As I said, it’s self-expression. Sometimes I just don’t make sense. On rare occasions, however, I do. This is just so like me.

I blog to create. Yup, I blog to create essays out of my thoughts. Simply put, I create essays out of scratch. One reason for this, actually, is that I fancy getting a book published before I finish college. I know it sounds sort of ambitious to you but I’m hoping that someday, I would be known as a writer of a collection of swanky articles. I once have been told by a girl friend of mine that I *almost* write like Jessica Zafra. She’s gotta be kidding. I haven’t read any of Zafra’s books yet but I just know --- she’s gotta be kidding. One of my other reasons for writing is for the purposes of convenience. I might get assigned to write about something for a school paper. And who knows, I’ve already written something almost like what is asked of me and all I have to do is a little bit of editing.

I blog to impress. This is just so self-explanatory. Someone’s just gotta be so fucking dim-witted for him not to understand this one.

I blog to address. If something’s bothering me and I can’t tell everyone about it because I find it too hard to do it, this is how it works. I write about it, post it, and then ask my friends to check out my website. This is way easier than being verbal about the matter.

I blog to recreate. When I don’t want to express, or create, or impress, or address, then this should be it. I blog for recreation only when I’ve got nothing, as in nothing, to do. Friendster is loading so slow that I think I’m gonna have to wait like, forever, all IRC servers are lagged (fucking lagged), there are no assignments and school projects to work on (like I’m a good school guy), or life just bores me are a few instances.

And…

I blog to live. Period.
