Why Do We Blog?

I know I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with concerts, shows, and things of that nature.

What I'd like to discuss briefly today is motivation. For example, why do we blog? Maybe we blog for attention - we crave the minds of our readers, and the pleasure they get as they laugh or learn from our writing. Or maybe we're bored. I know that browsing the Internet does have its lulls. Does blogging give us something to do when we need an activity? Maybe so.

I think that I blog because I like the feeling of being part of a modern method of expression. I'd like to think I brighten someone's day a little bit when they read my posts. It's my mark on the Internet, and the world (in a small way).

So how about you? Why do you blog? If not, then why don't you blog? Do it!
