What makes me want to get a blog? Why write stuff down for the world to see? Is it to bequeath my vast knowledge to future generations? Could I be doing it for selfish reasons, to vent when angry or explain myself when happy? I don't know. Maybe because its for the same reason the late Edmund Hillary gave for scaling Mount Everest. Because it was there. Do I blog just because there is a website here that will publish my thoughts? Do I really have a purpose? Right now, I can't think of a single one.
I can say this, scaling Mount Everest just because it is there seems really silly. Maybe starting a blog is silly too.
