Reason to Blog
I normally don't write for link solicitation without payment up front, but I'll make an exception in Christina's case. The question? Why do we blog?
I believe I'll answer in Letterman Top 10 format:
10. It is the thinking man's way to avoid one's family.
9. No matter how bad my day I can find someone who had a shittier one.
8. I meet people who share my odious and abominable tastes.
7. I occasionally run across a bit of writing I am compelled to reluctantly admit, "That ain't half bad".
6. There is occasional T & A in the blogosphere.
5. It is a way to exorcise daemons without resorting to the Gerber blade.
4. I get to party with my blogmates on occasion, a visceral and beautiful thing.
3. I can hone my skills for the novel I will write next, always next, year.
2. I can gratuitously insult total strangers, and be repaid in kind.
1. I get to use that memorable phrase the inimitable James Mason intoned in Salem's Lot, to wit: Kneel before the Master!
Very nice. I have no idea why I found 10 to be most humorous, lol.
(It's not like I would do that.)

Posted by: og at March 2, 2005 11:51 PMi dont buy your list of reasons. not for one second.
the reason you blog is because, if you didnt, the mutant would rip you to pieces and leave you by the side of some dirt filled road in the outer reaches of mexico where packs of ravished, wild dogs would tear at your flesh until there was nothing left of your existence but a giant blood stain, drying in the sun...

It's not Fortuna, my friend. Think in simpler terms.

Posted by: Moogie at March 3, 2005 6:40 PMSounds about right to me.
Unfortunately, I am of the unlucky who has yet to behold the timbre of your voice but, still -- somehow -- I can hear that.
And not in James Mason's voice, either.
Interesting.
