title:"Thanks for reading mah stuff!" or "No,Tyson-why would YOU blog?"

So, this question has been presented to me twice, once directly and once indirectly-why do you blog? When Tyson,the "murse" apprentice, asked me this directly, I said," *shrug* Cuz I like attention? I dunno. It's fun." When my cousin Michelle asked me this- actually she didn't ask me why I blog-she made a comment in an e-mail that corralled my thoughts toward the question. She said that she doesn't blog because her life just isn't that interesting. Um, she has a 3-yr old. I'm sure that is like watching paint dry. :) Anyway-thinking on it, I decided my life isn't that interesting either, so why do I blog? Besides liking to write, who do I think I am that people want to read my stuff?

I brought this up to my Dom-zilla and he had a good point. He said that people want to try to make an impact somehow. Maybe not huge, cathartic impacts. But just enough to try to get someone to see through a different perspective. It's a neat feeling to read or hear what someone else is saying and think,"Wow. Never thought it like that before."

I guess that's what communicating, through whatever technology (or manners, for that matter) is all about. From the first cave painting, to the prinitng press, telegraph, photograph, phonograph, telephone, microphone, satellite, internet-it's about establishing connections somehow. Finding a way to relate to the world. So I guess that's why I blog.

That- and I like attention ;p
