Why do I blog

I have stumbled upon a few different blogs that ask the question "why do you blog". This had me thinking about my own blogging and why I do it.

After giving it some thought I'm not really sure why I do it. A friend I worked with told me about her blog and then I started one. It was basically a way to relieve boredom. I was never one to "surf" the net. usually I didn't know what I was looking for and randomly placing words into a search engine to see what would come out lost its appeal shortly after getting the first home computer.

Now that I have three blogs going it is starting to feel like a part time job and to be honest if I am going to start another job I want one that will make me money...God knows I need it.

I'm thinking of taking a hiatus from blogging. It has started to have the same feelings of addiction other things had in my life. The nervousness after being away for a while. The on edge feeling when I have not checked in for a while. Sometimes sneaking on line during the day just to see what's up.

The problem is that I have met some really neat people thru blogging. Chances are I will never meet them in the flesh, but I have gotten to know them all the same. I hate the thought of loosing that connection.

So if I'm not around as much....don't worry...I'm still here, just trying to live my life "outside this box" for a while.
