Elderly, Orphans and Homeless Getting Posted at Chicago's Public Blogarium. (Notice how the signs separate the Bloggers by age. The seat next to the 100+ sign is empty.)Go here.
Explain "why?"
I've been paying particular attention to one highly significant aspect of blogging- with the express intent to write some sort of profound evaluation of my findings on that aspect- but what I found wasn't exactly earth-shattering.
To paraphrase an email I received : "I can't explain why I do things, much less why others do as they do"
Of course , there are the primal needs like food, shelter and fucking, but they don't really apply to blogging- I hope.
If you are blogging for food, you are probably going to starve.
If you are blogging for shelter, you are probably homeless and blogging from the dry warmth of the public library.
If you are blogging for sex...*shudder*...I don't wanna hear about it here .
IM me at NYCFIREMAN4U instead.

i have enough problems with finding stuff to blog about without trying to figure out why i do it...i will just plod along...occasionally raise my head, sniff the air for republicans and then back to my blog...
We blog to have someone 'hear' us and to find others to talk to in this country of individualism and isolation. We can also have anonymity so that if someone thinks our ideas suck, then we don't have to directly confront them like in a conversation. Are you going to submit something for Thivai?
Those are reasons I started blogging, but not why I continue to do so- I don't mind directly confronting others with my ideas and thoughts, and I'm semi-anonymous these days...
I have already submitted - just figuring out how to post it.
