behind every blog, there's an ignored bored depraved blogger

why should one have a blog? why would one have a blog? i mean, they are not really the most convenient things in the world. pretty much like having a plant at home. something you have to water daily (or at least when you remember) and take out for a walk every once in a while.
it’s a lot like being in a relationship too. you have to invest time in it (quality time at that)…be honest with it…and stuff like that. only it’s better maybe, because it doesn’t talk back.

okay, so why should one have a blog? here’s what I think:

one, you have to be surrounded by friends (who love you and you love them…and all of that) who have completely stopped listening to what you say. not that they mean to tune you out, but chances are they are too busy eyeballing the cute young thing at the other end of the bar.

two, you have to be really bored at work. seriously, how good the blog is, is directly proportional to dissatisfied you are at work. (unless you are one of those lucky bastards who get paid to blog.) it’s like melancholic troubled people are just better at writing.

three, you have to not be getting any. or not nearly enough. (think about it, how many people do you know, who are doing like it like rabbits and still being able to or finding time to blog?)

four, you are suffering from a sensory overload. too much news, too many images and lots and lots of completely useless information is crammed into your brain. you are never able to say the right thing at the right time, mostly because by the time you sift through the data in your head, the moment has gone.

and five, you see yourself in the future, in a great big house surrounded by cats (while obviously, a cute young pool boy in his speedos is working outside) with your memory a little dim, and unless the world is taken over by aliens or AI and the www is down for ever, your blog will remind you that at one point, you didn’t need a life, since you were trying to lead half a dozen already.
