I gave up on reaching anyone. Now I blog for myself alone. My blog serves only 1 real purpose, which is to build and host my resume, but I enjoy writing anyways.

I’ve blogged on and off since the late 90s when it was more “update the /writings.html file with a new addition every now and then” and I learned pretty early that I don’t actually care if anyone reads the stuff I like, I just like the act of writing.

Getting thoughts out of my head and into writing is very therapeutic, as even though I know it will probably get zero views, the fact it might get views makes me think carefully about how to word and structure it all and how to turn the jumble of chaos in my head into something the general public could comprehend.

None of you have your blog or anything linked in your profiles here. I'm not trying to be critical, I was just curious about what they'd look like

I don't anymore but heres mine from 2005 when I was 16

My blog was dead before dead blogs were cool.

Recently I was complaining to a friend that this does not work like this any more. 10 years ago, yes but at least in my experience the personal touch seems to have lost value.

I to still do blog because it's good to write. Who knows, someone might benefit from it.
