Why Blog?

According to Technorati, there about 57 million blogs in existence, roughly 100,000 of which are created daily. So why blog? Why now? Well, I've only been introduced to the whole concept of blogging less than a year ago. Yeah, I know , quite late for someone born in the late 70's. Second, I had to give it a lot of thought, after all the idea of unmasking my thoughts on the net gave me shivers in the beginning, imagine sharing personal details of your life with people you don't know and will probably never meet. But nonetheless, I've always been more of a writer than a speaker, hence writing on a regular basis isn't an alien concept for me. Heck, I've even kept a journal for the most part of my life, details of which I'd rather keep to myself. Having said that, I believe in the power of the written word and to be able to share my thoughts would be a privilege. Unearned thoughts and pleasures. Most of which I'll be talking about in the next blogs to come........Although I still cannot believe I'm doing this.
