Why Blog?
People always ask me: "Why do you write so much in your blog?"
Or "Why start a blog? No privacy?"
or "You write ALL that yourself?"
or'Where you find so much time?"
Or "Bloggers are attention seeking"
AND ETC
Okay, one at a time.
Point ONE:Blogging is oftentimes viewed as an abnoxious way of self promotion.
Ok. This is the normal assumption of most people. After all, after all that camwhoring on xiaxue, you'd think most people are so in love with themselves. But then, how do you explain friendster? Isnt that the same? And people DO NOT comdemn friendster. Why condemn bloggers?
KNNCCB! People! Get your facts right before shooting people can?
Point Two: By blogging, you lack privacy
PRIVACY? What is privacy? To show kissy pictures of coupledom in friendster? To make out in public? Have happy hours in the back seat of your car in a parking lot? Tesco klang-check it out. Or best still, shoot a sex video like paris hilton and to have it distributed on internet?
Besides, you neednt pour out every single thought that runs through your head, every single bullshit you do everyday, every single picture you took from every imaginable angle, every single person you screw... Just fragments of your thoughts. No one is THAT interested in knowing what color underwear you are wearing today anyway.
Point three: Bloggers are a attention seeking bunch
AND you arent? So those 867453 pictures at friendster means nothing at all?
Or you want my grandma to teach you what paiseh means?
Besides, what is so wrong with attention? From young, we seek attention from our parents. Always vying to be the perfect son/daughther of their dreams. Then we seek attention to be noticed by our favourite teachers by scoring unbelievable amount of As. All for what? ATTENTION. When we make presentations, we seek attention of our fellow coursemates to score. When we work, we seek the boss's attention so we'd have a nice fat paycheck with a sexy secretary to help you. We seek the attention of the gorgeous creation opposite you so that they'd notice you, despite you know you dont stand a chance. Admit it, attention seeking is normal. No reason to fucking pretend.
God created us as individuals. Blogging shows individualism. Thus by blogging, you are abiding by the laws of nature. That is to be an individual.
haha! I am so vicious. God's name also come out. Thank god I am not on any debate team
Point four: Online personalities contradict with real personlities
For some, yeah. For myself, I am not sure.
People arent like books which you can read. The closest thing you can get to that is to read their blogs. =p
But in the end, we might just get more confused right?
Other things
Yes, I write everything you see here.
Sometimes, it takes awhile to write a post sometimes very fast.
I do not have so much time. I FIND time. Its so simple really. Some people just like to over exaggerate their busy-ness. We arent THAT busy really if we find time.
How i find so many things to write?
I dont know. Seriously.
I am seriously baffled.
I am baffled now by how did this short post ended up so long??
I should exercise some self control when typing.
