To blog or not to blog?

[my old keyboard, with faded letters on most keys]

Blogging is a trend. And I obviously jumped into the band wagon a long time ago. Late 2003 or sometime early 2004 was the start for my personal Livejournal. It was (and still is) my place where to vent about how much little events in my everyday life sucks, things and people that annoy me or sometimes about things that make my days better. Most of the time, I end up blabbering about a song, an album or an artist, posting a review and pictures of concerts I've been to or tell the world how much fun I had with some friends. It's all about showing details no one could care about to people who may not even know a single thing about me. Why? Because it feels good to let things out, even if it's made public. It's the internet anyway so who reads and actually remembers what they've read about after they changed website?

Late 2005 made Blogger become bigger and a more appreciated place where to blog. So as I first registered to be able to comment on a friend's blog, I decided I may as well use the account for its first purpose. SilentBlurbs was born. A blog were I tend to type in some thoughts I have about anything, sometimes starting off from a quote, sometimes the quote comes after the whole reflection's over. It's like a journey through my troubled mind ["but who doesn't have a troubled mind, after all?" <- see, there's always at least one quote on these posts; this one being from a friend I quote all too often, I guess. But she's the one I talk to the most, it seems, so it makes sense]. The whole path from an idea to another may seem hectic or strange, but that's the way things happen in my head. Since blogger is so easy to use and to customize [freedom for that matter is very enjoyable! Especially for an amateur webmaster like I] I kept on the reflection onto what else to blog about. Music came to mind. Because it's what makes me find the strength to get up in the mornings. Knowing there'll be some nice sounds to play, meaningful lyrics I wish I had written, melodies to move my feet or my mind, touch my head and simply make me feel alive. And since music has always been about sharing [at least, to me] I intend to make this blog a community-like thing. It's only starting for now but everyone's welcome, a good music taste is required, but we can only judge from that once you've posted something, I guess. If you're randomly interested in music, you can bookmark the URL : Of Genius Sounds, wait for it to really start and then add your suggestions to the thing.

And you, why do YOU blog?
