Why Blog?

I enjoy spending time on Facebook. It's a great resource for serendipitous discoveries of articles, videos and musings shared by my friends. I'm constantly being inspired by it. I share things too, but I fear there is something of the thought activist in me and I really don't want to turn it loose on a captive audience!

More frequently I find myself wanting to immerse in some kind of musing and start writing out loud. Sometimes this can boil up into a full blown rant. So far I've mostly been able to avert the rant and substitute some Facebook haiku or nothing at all.

But damn it, I have the need to express at times and when the mood takes me 2 to 3 lines aren't enough. More than that, I'd rather one volunteer shared my thoughts than 100 Facebook captives.

So to the blog I go and if I write and no one reads it, or I don't and the World sees it, c'est le blog!
