Why have a blog?

April 15th, 2010 by Vincent

What is this perceived need to be heard?
What is the need to be seen? Why do we have blogs? Why do I have a blog? Who am I talking to? What purpose does it serve? So far it seems this site has been read by new friends screening my worth, potential employers doing the same, and maybe some family members curious to know what I am up to.

I am still not sure why I have this site. Part of me feels like it is a temporary substitute for a quality public representation of myself.

But why? Why do I even need passing thoughts, well-thought out essays, random perspectives and opinions to be documented anywhere? I suppose it is as simple as a validation of my existence. That sounds pathetic.

Even this entry, I question sharing. Meta-meta data on myself. Is this being hyper-self-aware, or hyper-self-conscious? Self-conscious: if I look at this compound word with its components in mind, it sounds like a pretty good trait to have actually.


I suppose I have nothing better to mention now. And a while back I promised to only post meaningful content here.

Well there are thoughts on my current travels and life abroad. But that, I suppose, may come soon.
