I was looking at my posts the other day and found that amazingly I have written almost 150 posts over the short time that I have been a blogger. This amazes me, as before this, I really would not have called myself a prolific writer, at least not in the more recent past.
If you had looked at me in high school I would have said that I enjoyed writing poetry. I think just like mathematics though if you do not use it you lose it. There are times still when I have been lucky enough to come up with a good poem, but alas, my days as a poet I think are a bit in the past.
The writing of this blog is something different, and something I truly look forward to (though finding time is sometimes an issue). I find that for me, I write to talk about important personal issues, as well as issues that are pertinent to others.
I have to say that I do enjoy having others read and comment on what I write, or the pictures that I share. It gives me fulfillment to hear praise, as well as know that I may have enlightened others or made them think in a different way.
So I cannot say that I blog to change the world, nothing so grandiose. I blog for me and for my readers, and hopefully in my own way, I am helping the world around me to be that much better than it was.
So my question for the day (Can you guess it?):
Why do you Blog?

Two simple reasons:
= As the title of my blog suggests, “Nobody asked me but…” was a line I used at the office coffee machine to begin a rant on any given topic - generally political but also anything on pop culture. In time I began to send my views via e-mail, and realized I was (very likely) annoying people who were too nice to tell me otherwise. At least with a blog, reading is voluntary.
= The frustrated, wannabe, stand-up comic has a forum he can call his own.
