Through MSN nick, I found out some friend's blog which links to other friends' blog, which again links to some other friends' blog. And I have never thought of these friends keeping a blog.
Amazing.
No no. Don't misunderstand. It's not like I am thinking blog is too "cool" for them or anything. It is just that reading their posts, it feels kind of weird. For some at least.
It seems...un-natural?
In the sense that, it doesn't feel like it was the person writing it.
Maybe it's something you feel when reading my blog? I don't know.
But for some, it definitely is them. One sentence reveals it all.
=)
Then, there are those "professional" blogs.
Written for commercial purposes. With advertising smartly slipped in here and there.
Reading all these blogs made me wonder why I blog in the first place.
Frankly speaking, I have no idea when I started blogging even. I just remember the year.Ok.
I did cheat a bit.
I looked back at my oldest post to confirm the year. It was in 2004 that I wrote my first post.
But then, I don't think the oldest post in my blog is actually my first post that I ever wrote.
But yes, it was definitely in 2004 that I started my blog.
Anyway, that's not really the point. It is just that I vaguely remember (kind of make me look old huh?) when I started blogging, I just wanted to find some space to write down my thoughts on stuffs.
Blogging for money certainly wasn't in my mind. It wasn't even quite the rage then to blog.
But now, things have changed so much in the blogging environment.
Blogging certainly is quite the rage.
Blogging for money is certainly in the mind of a lot of people.
Not that I resent it. It's just that, with so many things being commercialized, you just have to wonder whether is there anything that can't be commercialized nowadays.
I mean seriously.
You thought "love" can't be commercialized?
Hey. Take a look at all those craps around you during Valentine's, Father's Day or Mother's Day.
Not only stuffs are being commercialized.
They are being commercialized AND packaged AND desensitized.
So yes. I was wondering why I blogged.
And really, beyond the point of wanting to share my thoughts on stuffs, I really haven't thought much of my reasons to blog.
I have always thought of my blog as the place where I can vent, rant, curse, weep, rejoice and let my thoughts run.
It is just a place where I can let my mind run free for a moment.
Which is why I have never really shared my blog much with people.
Cause I have always felt some thoughts are...not me?
I don't know. Do you get the feeling that I am not the "Chung Chin" I am SUPPOSED to be when reading this blog? Some people have commented that.
=)
But, I sincerely feel that I am expressing a lot of myself in Insanity Streaks.
Reading all those blogs, made me wonder why I blog.
Writing all these posts, made me wonder why you read it.
But, frankly speaking, I am really really really glad that you're reading it.
Wait. Glad wouldn't do justice to that feeling of gratitude that I have right now for having you as a reader. But I don't know what other words I can use.
Hmmm..ultra-glad? Ultra-super-glad? Ultra-super-duper-glad? Ultra-super-duper-extremely-glad?
You get the drift.
Why?
Because I really like writing.
Yes. Even writing craps in my head.
And knowing that I have someone like you, you and you reading my thoughts, it just kept me going.
Even though it may not be much, but thanks for reading.
Sincere.
And since I know you won't want me to kiss you, allow me to send you a representative.
