Why?

I've thought about starting a blog for several years... Many of my friends suggested that I should. But I've never gotten around to it.
So why now?

Maybe because I have finally succumbed to my selfish tendencies and have decided to take time each day to write about myself.
Maybe I think my friends are tired of hearing me rehash my shit problems, and so decided to throw my bitching to the wind and let the big wide world web listen for a while.
Maybe its the first step in becoming a writer- a kind of lifelong dream that I never want to admit to. Its pretty easy to keep that dream incubating in my back pocket where it never has to face reality.
Maybe I want to help people relate to themselves, the way that reading others blogs has helped me relate to myself.

I honestly don't know why. It just is, I guess.

An anonomous blog is a pretty chickenshit way to accomplish any of those tasks, though. Perhaps I'm just fucking bored.
