I cannot do anything, dear reader, so I'm writing a blog.
Some people write a blog because they promised themselves "I will post a blog entry every week and it will make me such and such a person". That's a cool promise, keep going, pals. Maybe one day you will become the such and such a person. Will you keep blogging when that happens?
Some people write a blog because they're paid to. Like, they drive a corporate blog. Or they aren't even getting paid, maybe they have a passion project and the blog is an outlet for updates, and an inlet for the audience to say "Congrats! Keep going, pal."
I usually write a blog because I'm very tired, and I need to unwind, and writing is relaxing, and writing in a personal journal just doesn't feel the same way as writing a blog. When I publish a blog entry, a URL is created for me that I can share with my friends, or maybe someone could leave a comment, or maybe a dear reader would simply skim over some sentences and leave unfazed. It's like talking in a cafe but very loudly, not in a private conversation voice.
I don't usually share URLs to my blogs with my friends. I don't have too many friends, and of these friends I don't want too many of them to know I'm blogging. I'm not blogging for my friends. I'm not even blogging for you, dear reader. I love you dearly, but I don't care about you. I care about me. More than any other person.
I'm very tired, and I cannot do anything, even flatter my dear reader to make them feel special. I don't feel special, why should you?
Sorry for the apparent hostility.
