The reason for blogging

Nov 12, 2005 in General

Vincent says: This bloke guest blogging today calls himself 'The Other Kenny' simply because, well there is ANOTHER Kenny. He humbly calls himself an amateur blogger who most of the time doesn't know what he's talking about, although I disagree because even the 'professional' bloggers also don't know what they are talking about mostly.

AAhhhh.. the magic of blogging. Who knew that blogging could be something that's addictive. So addictive in fact that I, someone who's not really not into writing could end up having my own blog. A very bad one at that some more. Really, trust me. You don't want to read my blog. You won't go to my blog to read the crap I put on it. (hope this reverse psychology works, hehe)

Anyway… back to blogging. Bloggers from all around the world have virtually covered any kind of topic that any primate can think of. From food to sex life, toys to politics, controversial stuffs that can make the ISA come knocking on your door or just story about that little bitch who lives next door. It's a form of communication, something to let you voice your heart out and let the world see what you got to say about it. Whether it is as interesting as reading a well written novel or as interesting as watching grass grows depend on the writer. There's always something to write / whine / bitch / rant about.

But what's the point of blogging anyway? Some may say that it's a form of electronic diary. Something to let you write your personal details on. But I don't think it will ever take the place of the traditional diary. I mean would you write about your STDs that you successfully obtained from the trip to Thailand and let the whole world know about it? I don't think so. (No I'm not talking about myself).

Is it really a stepping stone into fame? Looking at how Mr. Kenny Sia is doing right now, maybe it is. He's indeed a popular guy, especially in Singapore. I mean who can fight the charm of his coconuts? Who can?? And Claire aka minishorts, who got fans that doesn't mind begging her so that they can write on her blog. (me being one of them) How cool is that? But they are just popular among bloggers and blog readers. But is it doing any good to them? Does the fame gives any privillege to them? Or will it end up forcing them to blog for their fans and not for their own. That would be bad isn't it? I mean you have to do something for others to enjoy and you're not even getting paid for it. How sucky would that be?

Or is it something you do to prove your existence in this world? Is it something for you to be regconised as a person in this overpopulated world so that when you die, you will still have your 'legacy'lives on? (wah lao, so 'kua zhang'!).

Whatever the reason are, bloggers will continue on blogging and blog readers will continue on reading it and some assholes will continue on stirring the blogosphere with controversial stuffs so that they can get that extra hits on they blog.

That's it for now. It's almost 2 am and I think I have bored you people enough. I don't want Miss Claire to lose her daily readers because of this boring topic that I've come up with. But I really want to know "Why do you blog?".

Do you believe all this actually come from someone who post a pic like this one?
