why i blog . . .

i blog because:
1) i'm addicted to messing with code.
2) reading other people's blogs helps me keep in touch when i can, instead of when we can both find the time. i assume the same works for my blog.
3) there are some things that i want random feedback on.
4) mass emails tick everyone off.
5) i meet new people through blogs, and they meet me. i also reconnect with long losts.
6) i may have something to say.
7) the unexamined life is not worth living.
8) public examination can sometimes be as illuminating as private.
9) i like having a forum for expressing my love for people in my life, and for God.

that's enough for now.

p.s. why, yes, i did hear two of my friends describe why they think blogging is dumb today. but, no worries, i still love them.
