I blog, therefore I am.
Weeks after everyone else passed this wagon by and after being tagged by Delle, here I go.

Five reasons why I blog:

1) I have an abundance of topics that I have an opinion about. These opinions may be absolute bollocks, but my ego likes the thought of putting my ramblings Out There.

I say a little bit of blog-wanking is good for the soul.

2) I like the fact that I can keep people far far away updated on my life. I appreciate the fact that I'm not a very consistent blogger, but I think I make enough of a showing every now and again that people know that I am still alive.

3) To whinge and bitch about my life and then get over it. Like others, I blog to let off steam, and it feels kind of nice to do so.

4) I fancied myself as a writer when I was younger but never pursued the craft in any consistent manner. I'm afraid that any crumb of talent I may have had is quickly fading away, if it hasn't disappeared completely already. Writing about Stuff, however mundane and self-absorbed it might be makes me feel that I'm keeping the metaphorical pen sharp.

5) I like the community and sharing aspect of blogging. Sharing the big events as well as the small victories forges connections. Maybe this is a hippy-dippy conceit too far, but I think that connecting with the world and being in contact with those that have an interest in your life and care about you, makes life in general a much nicer, kinder experience.
