The Journal with No Name
Why blog? WHYYYYYY?
I have created this journal and opened it to public viewing in hopes of finding the answer to a question that's been plaguing me since the dawn of the very first blog:

Why blog?

Why do we assume that total strangers, or even friends and relatives, want to know every single thought that we feel like jotting down? Whether it's random rants, deeply philosophical monologues, scathing political commentary or statements of the blatantly obvious, we slap it onto a computer screen for the world to see and hope that people will stumble upon it-- maybe even comment on it, if fate truly smiles upon us.

For what? Are we so desperate for attention these days? Is blogging the new method of chasing after our 15 minutes of fame?

Since I haven't reached an answer, I'm attempting to understand the reasoning behind creating a journal, by creating my own journal. Comments from anyone who happens to read this fragment of my thoughts are most welcome.

For now, adieu.

I'm way to shy to actually post anything worthwhile in my journal, so I'm with you on this one. Why would anyone want to expose their deep thoughts for the entire world? Maybe people are just very arrogant and think that everyone wants to know what they are thinking.

Or are they so insecure that they need some form of acknowledgement, even if it's from total strangers, to feel worthwhile?

Hullo, domokun

I generally like journals but I use to post nonsense in them. blaugh
Besides that I already have my DeviantART journal and I'm busy enough spaming it so, yah, that's basically the reason why... hm. eek

No generally I don't really wanna tell anything about myself either and so I'm just posting nonsense if I ever post anything in a journal xp
