Enjoy.
Top 10 Reasons Why I Blog
10. Someone's got to do it.
9. I have something to say. Maybe.
8. At least SOMEONE will listen to me (or at least I can pretend...)
7. It's cheaper than a journal and doesn't require white-out.
6. Job skills: "Familiar with digital media platforms and web publishing."
5. The one in 5,241,678 (million) chance I might be discovered, get a book deal, and win a Blooker Prize.
4. Everyone else [was] doing it [five years ago].
3. Once you start, you can't stop. (See Why Having a Blog is Like Pet-Sitting.)
2. I sold my soul to Google in a Faustus-like bid to survive graduate school.
...and the number one reason why I blog is...
1. Facebook is temporarily unavailable, and I need to procrastinate LATER!!!
