The Pointlessness of Blogging

I don't think pointlessness is a word, but that shant hinder me from what I am going to say.

Blogging seems pointless. At least from my perspective. I write a blog to express feelings that are not necessarily meant for anyone but me to read. On the other hand... I don't care who reads them, otherwise I wouldn't post them on the interweb.

So why write them? Why not just open up a word document, type out what I'm thinking, and keep it hidden away on my hard drive?

Because there's no point. The internet is just... there. There to allow people to express their ideas that are not necessarily meant for anyone but them to read. The internet is unbiased, and doesn't single out people and segregate them into groups of who can write and who can't.

As a friend of mine, Dylan, so wisely pointed out to me... people like to be heard. He observed that, while you can write in a word document all you want, you're only talking to yourself. And even if you're talking to yourself in a blog... it doesn't feel like it. It's nice to know that someone out there might hear you, and possibly relate.

So, while I think in some respects it's rather pointless... I enjoy it.

And therefore will continue to do it.

So there.
