Blogging

So, here we are.  For many years I have not understood the whole idea and or reason for blogging. I find the whole idea of it to be rather narcissistic.  The idea of writing about me, my ideas, or my feelings and posting them on the internet doesn't really make much sense. 

 Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a blog as the following: a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer; also :  the contents of such a site http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blog.  So, by this definition essentially a blob is a diary.  I don't know of many people that will allow a stranger to read their diary.  But, now in this digital world that we live in people suddenly share all their wares on the internet.  I regularly hear so many people use the term "invasion of privacy" and then post on social media things of a very personal nature. 

Further,I am somewhat of a walking contradiction.  I am a very open yet very private person.  I will share my whole world with my friends. But would prefer those that don't know me to have little knowledge of my existence.  I am the most conceited yet humble person you will ever meet.  I know how awesome I am but yet have no idea why anyone would wish to read what I write.  That being said I know that I am writing this for no purpose at all for it is my assumption that it will never be read.  Of course that would make it rather private and counter my earlier statement of letting the whole world read my diary now wouldn't it?
