Five reasons why I blog.

Memes seem to be all the rage these days, the latest one being "Five reasons why I blog." Mike Sansone at Converstations issued an open tag invitation. So, without further ado, here are the five reasons why I blog:

  • Conversation. Pure and simple. It's the free exchange of thoughts and ideas. The ability share and expand upon concepts at any given time, day or night.

  • Community. The sense of belonging to something greater than oneself. Without sounding to touchy/feely, I find this sense of community reassuring.

  • Credibility. What a better way to build credibility, than through a jury of one's peers. Peers keep you honest. They can see through the bullshit, and will call you on it.

  • Therapeutic. There's something satisfying about writing and sharing my thoughts and opinions. I love the expression and the creativity. I enjoy it. It makes me happy.

  • Cheap! It's more cost-effective then a therapist. I get to write whatever the hell I want. Best of all, it's free!

There you have it. Officially, I'm supposed to tag five people at this point, so they too can extoll the virtues of blogging. Only problem is I'm still building up my readership. So, if by chance you should happen across this merry little blog, then tag, you're it!
