I get asked quite a lot why I feel the need to write a blog about the most mundane boring topics along with the rest of the world. Things like public transport or advertising annoyances are something everyone has to deal with. That's the key though, how are you supposed to write something for an audience that doesn't exist. By writing about these topics that everyone can relate to, it opens up to a world demographic, which is handy, the internet being available all around the world. On a side note, it's also available in space via satellite so I would like to broadcast my apologies to all those astronauts out there for excluding space related content from my posts.
I think another reason why I've always broadcast my thoughts in one form or another is because of two reasons:
- I might go mad if I keep all these things to myself
- It's not what I write about, it's the way I write it
Now I know what your thinking, most likely one of three things. Either your thinking I should probably go see someone with a clipboard and sofa who asks me how I feel about things, or that how could anyone possibly find this funny, or most likely, you've seen the picture of the cake and you're wondering when I'm getting to that. Well good news I am.
I must now make it clear that my favorite cake by fare is the butterfly cake. It's like a cupcake with wing shape wedges cut out the middle and icing filling where they used to be, then the wedges forming wings on the top. How has it been all summer and no-one that I know of has made them. You can't enjoy them as much if you made them yourself, not sure why but it's the same reason why someone else's chips always taste better than if you'd bought your own.
Anyway, to answer my question of why to read or write a blog. You read a blog either because your been pressured into at gunpoint or because you like the content. You write a blog either because it stops you going mad or because you really have nothing better else to do...like make butterfly cakes!

I agree. I write a blog, several in fact, and while I don't think many people read them, I am not doing it to get a movie deal or write a book, I do it because it gives me a place to get things off of my chest, and if people choose to read it so be it. It's not like Facebook, where you post twenty different statuses in an hour, and then people are either forced to choose to read or ignore it. Why do I choose to write a blog, simply because I wanted to, and so I did.
