Ever since blogging gets the limelight since 2XXXX. Anyone without a blog seems 'outdated'. Have anyone ever wondered before the word 'blog' ever was a common word among young people, there ARE already similar online diaries such as freeopendiary,live journal, xanga and some others? I started out on freeopendiary which was known as opendiary then. I still maintain that account although certain portions of it were deleted cos the servers got severely hacked once. Then I went on to livejournal as well as xanga. But maintaining more than one online diary/journal is a tiresome affair, so now I stick to 2.

Blogging is of such a pop culture. I guess alot of people will have started a blog for the sake of starting one, they will have a blog because their friends all have blogs, they will have a blog because it is the 'in' thing now. Indeed blogging has become a leeway for many people to voice out their thoughts and feelings. While some has voiced out undesirable and warped opinions resulting in legal suites.

So why do u blog?
1) Do u blog because of the above mentioned?
2) Do u blog because u need to voice out whatever shit and good that has happened to u?
3) Do u blog to show off ur writing skills?
4) Do u blog because u need attention from virtual readers whose tags/comments u desired to see?

Personally I feel blogging all kinda shit and publish it online reveals too much of urself. It makes one too 'human' and make one to be so 'imperfect'. All of us are imperfect but most of us will rather live in some fantasy, some ignorance is bliss sometimes. If a blogger's entries is all abt his/her fucked up life, almost every entry is complaints and complaints and complaints, what is ur impression of such a blogger? If a blogger blogs abt his/her everyday life from work to lunch to dinner to etc etc etc etc etc, will it seem so boring? Anyway, blogging is not as private as u might assume it is. Think of it, it is on the internet. how private can it get when billions of people are wired to each other?

So why do u blog?

sidetrack: vinegar is a mild disinfectant, so if u wanna have a cheap alternative to the refreshing lemon smell or lavander of some floor cleaning detergent, u can add some vinegar to water and use it for mopping. My entire home reeked of a sourish stench, thanks to my mum who added some vinegar (which i dun really appreciate the smell)
