Why?

By July 8, 20026 Comments

People always ask me why i blog, what good it does, who does it, and what in Great Jumping Jupiter’s name a blog is anyway – forever asking questions, the little tykes. Well, the last one is neatly answered by the Guardian here. Blogs are like an online diary – as another blogger Sashinka neatly puts it, “If I don’t write stuff down, I forget it.” I’ve tried and failed at least twice (and christ, that’s enough) to start a diary – it always seems like a good idea when too many good things are happening to NOT write them down somewhere, and always ends when life gets a little humdrum. But, hey, I’m ALWAYS at my computer – look at me, I’m so connected – and I can always find a little moment to write to you fine travellers. Well, the last few days haven’t exactly backed me up blog-wise, the little urchins, but hey, it’s a good deal more regular than my diary would’ve been…
So I started blogging. And then i found i wasn’t the only one. It’s like a huge community – they have get togethers, allsorts. Now that’s getting a little ahead of me – I’m quite content in my little room here – but it kinda makes you feel at home. Have a look at the Guardian’s list of Best Blogs – it’s like a voyeurs paradise…
So, there you have it. The Why, What, and Who of blogs. Now, stop asking, Paul D…!

    Astonishingly, there appears to be a gremlin in your GREMLIN post, Jac. What are the chances of that, I wonder?
