Why I Blog:
- I enjoy writing. Blogging gives me the ability to express myself without having to worry about losing interest, since I've got a ton of started-and-unfinished stories because I just lost interest in writing them. Blog entries are as short or as long as I want them to be, and I don't have to worry about developing a plot or a character over the space of a period of time. I can write one (and sometimes more than one) in a single sitting.
- I'll be honest. It gives me a certain satisfaction when people read my blog, especially when they tell me they like my writing. Fans are a great ego-booster. Don't deny it, you know you like having fans too.
- I like the interaction with my readers. I like having a public forum to say what's on my mind and have people either relate to it or argue it with me or agree with me.
- I'll be honest some more. I like talking about myself. If I didn't, I wouldn't blog. And neither would you if you didn't like talking about yourself.

Why I Shouldn't:
- I say some controversial things here. One of these days, my big mouth will get me in trouble and something I've written will come back to bite me in the ass.
- I'm sure I'm on John Ashcroft's list of Public Enemies for all my anti-President Moron remarks and tirades.
- It's a little disconcerting to me when I'm interacting with someone and they know things I haven't told them personally. Especially if I've never met them before. I know that this is a public forum for me where I frequently post details about my life, but when someone I've never met knows intricate details of my life and brings them up to me, I get a little weirded out. One of my close friends already knew that I'd gotten the Dream Job before I had a chance to call him and tell him because he read it on my blog, and when he said "I know" when I told him, I had to ask him how he knew because I didn't realize it.

Eh. All in all, I think I'll keep doing it for a while.
