I blog
Almost daily.
In fact, you might not know this, I also have a photography blog, but don’t often post there.
Also, I have a blog with another, a sort of USA meets Australia, called Boz and Oz.
Then, I host a photography challenge, a meme, that uses Word Press Blog, but is more of a submit your photo in the ocmment box kind of thing.
I think that’s it.

One more, sorry about that

I did not know you had a song lyrics blog, Barb.
You are truly profuse in your content, I believe.

Hey Matthew,
Thanks for coming by my place, thought I would check yours out. Nice place you’ve got here.
I blog because my head gets full and I must empty it, so it can fill up with new stuff. It’s a catharsis of whatever is buzzing around in my mind at the time. It’s a place to play with my ideas and the ideas of others. It’s a way of connecting dots and romping through a endless field of possibility. It’s a place to put difficult life lessons out there because even though I’m over them emotionally, they are too big to be ignored.
I blog because sometimes I can’t fall asleep because I have a galloping case of the brain weasles, and you just have to let them run.
Pretty typical, really…right?

My original reason for blogging was to throw ideas out to people and get their feedback. I still do that, but I’ve also found that it can be a great way to keep up with old friends.

Good question! It prompted me to do a post on my own that I’d had a draft of for some time.
One other reason I didn’t list: At least one of my kids reads my blog, and it is a good way to pass along information to her without “preaching.”

I blog because I like to write, I’m rather opinionated, and writing forces me to put otherwise rather non-linear thoughts into some semblance of order.
Plus, I love meeting new people, such as most of the people who comment here. I believe there are only two or three of the ‘regular’ who I know in real life besides the other authors.

Accountability.
By matthew, February 21, 2008 @ 8:28am
I like that, John. Though I must ask: What for?
By Barbara (Xerraire), February 21, 2008 @ 8:56am
I realize after going to 4Simpsons post that you asked WHY.
I never said WHY I blog.
I blog to remember things, as writing it down helps.
I blog to vent.
I blog to put thoughts in order.
I blog to keep family and friends all over the world updated on me and my family with one swoop.
I blog to present news and issues of the day from a viewpoint that might not be mainstream, and perhaps someone else could profit from it.
I blog to earn a little living for me and my family. THe revenue from google is often up and down, but every little bit helps.
A good month usually brings me around $30 which helps on at least one bill. Combined with my other sites, the revenue helps even more.
I blog because at the end of 2005, the news said it was the “word of the year” and I thought I needed to get in on that.
I blog because I saw there was nothing better than first hand news.
I blog becauase Fox News said it helped shape the election, people were getting more than the mainstream media.
I blog sometimes to make a point to others and to myself.
I blog really, for so many reasons.
