Why Blog?

I always used to look at blogs (in)differently.

They always just seemed like your standard html pages. Tell people what your site is about and then post it to your frameset. Not a real problem. Just a site right? That is until now for me. I started to realize something. I lost the joy that comes from coding and developing new things for the web.

It is just gone.

I think that I am tired. That my imagination disappeared or went into hibernation. Perhaps I am mentally exhausted from writing the same code for years and listening to the same ideas about the same items that I have worked on for so long.

Now I need to find the joy again. Blogging seems like a way into the community that I have long held myself apart from. The internet was full of the anonymous assholes that used to play games. You know the ones that I am talking about. You play some online game against them, you start to win, they call you some vulgarity and then quit. Now don't get me wrong. Those people are still here. In spades. But Blogging, to me, gives the internet a little more personality. A little less of the anonymous crap that has ruined so many things before. It enables me to take credit for what I say and take the blame for saying things that weren't thought out fully.

Maybe telling people why I am so tired will help get this off of my chest. Maybe my mind will free up and I will be able to paint, design and code things into reality again.

It can't be gone. It still in here somewhere. I just need to find it.
