Oscar Wilde
Blogging has never appealed to me. I think it has to do with opening up a door and allowing people to see a side of you that you may not want them to see. With your thoughts out there, you have no control over what may follow. Will others see your attempts at humor as witty or banal? Will a flame war break out? What if I only get 6 page views!
Mostly though, I find blogging pretentious. Kind of like now. For some reason you are reading this while I pontificate on why blogging has never appealed to me. And you might be like, "Yeah, this guy gets it. He really understands this issue, and has touched something deep in my soul." (Ok, I know that isn't going to happen)
I never really understood the driving need to share mundane facts about yourself. Do I really need people to know that I ate great Sushi in Ft. Lee NJ? *BTW, I did, and it changed my life. I haven't enjoyed Sushi the same way since.* I could send out a tweet, link it to Google Earth, tag a photo on Instagram, and/or upload a review on Yelp.
Or, as I prefer, I could enjoy my Sushi, quietly thinking about the ring I have in my pocket, looking across the table at the woman to whom the next day I will ask to become my wife, looking deep into her eyes and say, "Wow!! This is the best Sushi I've ever had."
