Why blog, you say?

"Today, when we blog, about our weight loss problems and our knitting and our opinion on the presidents IQ level, we do it on the blithe assumption that someone gives a shit - even though there is a guy stuck in Baghdad that blogs, and a Washington DC staff assistant who gets paid by republican appointees for sex who blogs, and our own jottings must be dreadfully dull in comparison. Nowadays anyone with a crap laptop and Internet can sound their barbaric yawp, whatever it maybe. But the surprise is that for every person who's got something to say, it seems there are at least a few people who are interested. Some of them aren't even related." - Julie Powell, Julie & Julia.
