Why I blog

Posted by chrystibella on January 28, 2009

Sometimes I lose my zest for writing on my blog.  There are so many types of blogs out on the net.  Some folks have a knack for being philosophical (I can barely spell the word) and others are witty while some are always sooooooo sweeeeet.  It makes me feel as if I’m not a nice person because I have ups and downs and bad days that sometimes I want to scream about.

I wonder if I am the only one who feels this way.  Ugh!  Then I guess I’m not a nice person.  haha…

Some of my favorite blogs are from people who tell it like it is.  I admire that kind of honesty.  I admire the courage it takes to bare one’s true self.  Dooce is a good example.  I wish I could write like Heather.

I have noticed that some folks frown on having advertising on blogs.  I thought about removing mine but then I saw some cool coffee mugs from Amazon so I clicked on them.  I like my ads.  If not for anyone else, they are there so that I have a fast track to look at my favorite things.

YouTube is another favorite pastime of mine.  I have met people and made friends there.  Sometimes I post videos on my blog.  I had thought for a bit that maybe that was dumb.  But I have come to realize that my blog isn’t for views and it isn’t for making money.  Its my place to put my favorite things, to rant if I feel the need, to cry and post my intimate feelings when I need a place to do that.

My blog is here for my guilty pleasure and it is here for people who are interested to view into my world for a bit.  I am not a “nice” person.  I am a normal human being who is far from perfection and I am here to show all of my humanness.  Warts and all.

Enjoy.  I know I do.
