People sometimes tell me "Why do you blog?" "It's a good thing you find time to blog." Well, my answer is simple, I blog so that I can sleep. I am already an insomniac due to years of sleep deprivation and since the cause of me not sleeping is because I have a lot of things my mind the only way to release it is to write.
You see, writing keeps the other half of my brain balanced since I deal with numbers and people everyday at work. And even though I would have loved to be creative in making a memo I don't want to confuse people if I am announcing something or writing a reprimand letter. For business, I write logically. Here I can have freedom in any topic I choose and in the best way I can express myself.
And I am not a professional writer, my wife is the one who writes (and believe me if she blogs she would make more sense than these ramblings.) But I make it a point that I write from the heart. What you see here are extensions of what I really am.
Before blogging came, I used to write songs, poetry and even started my concept on a novel. Sadly, only the songs are the ones that I have kept. I wasn't able to save the poetry I have made and the novel was stored on a 5 1/4 diskette(yeah, I know it is that old.) But one of these days I can sit down and write that story again. And since I only write for fun, there is no pressure nor deadline or trying to please an editor.
So I would recommend blogging to release your creative self and to obtain balance in life. And it is not that hard, think of it as a very long tweet where you are not limited to 140 characters.
Now excuse me, I need to go back to sleep.
