I have maintained a blog for a while now, I used to use a Livejournal, but I have had to let that one die because of the flamers and others who just made it a negative experience. I started blogging in January 2003, and I was a fairly regular blogger there, and I have missed writing.
I write for several reasons. I like the way it clears my head. It makes room for other thoughts. It also helps me to maintain a perspective. I look back into the archives of that blog and I can see those things that upset me, and they mean so little to me now. But its also good to see the dreams that motivated me, still do.
I blog because its vanity. You know it is.
I blog because its like a slow conversation with friends I have never met, but hope to become acquainted with.
I blog because you read.
I blog because I read you, and want to reply, or comment. Or just inspire you because you have inspired me.
I blog for posterity.

I'm too lazy to blog, but I often feel like my life is just streaming past leaving no trace. On particularly good, joyful days I feel like I should write down what happened, so I can read it later when things aren't so sunny. I almost do.
