  I blog becaue I like it, I think.

  I haven't blogged steady, maybe that is why I don't get too many responses or even subscribers.  I have to admit that I like comments as much as I do blogging but as of yet, I guess I don't know what interests people, because I don't get hardly any comments. Oh well.

  Blogging is my way of expression.  Reading other's blogs teaches me things.

  I started blogging because I need people to connect with, I carried on blogging because I found people to connect with :-)

  What polarheart said....and because I am now a hopeless addict.  Sometimes it feels like a favorite tv show I just can't miss for too long at a stretch. I have to see what is going on!  Sometimes I look at my black screen when I come into the computer room to get something, and I get the strangest feeling for a minute---like all of you are little tiny people hidden in that little square just carrying on in the world of cyberspace without me.....

  I wanted to be a writer when I was a kid. Went to school for it and chose another way of life. I rediscovered something I thought I'd never do again basically. Plus it's nice to connect to people and it's addicting. It's also away to sort things out,vent,share ideas,and get advice that is totally neutral.

  zfreqa-u again!
  Good question- y do u comment?!

• IdeallySublime said on Feb 22, 2008....

  I can share thoughts and get feedback from people who are absolutely objective.  I can express myself freely and completely and not have to worry about what my friends and family will say tomorrow.  Plus everyone else's blogs are so fun to read
  
  zfreqa: I haven't been here in a long while, but what is going on????

  SoulCast is a sieve through which the spillovers from my brain are filtered.  Then it gets neatly placed(or coherently when I have time) in the garden for everyone to come and traipse through. 
  
  Then, I channel surf, skipping from one blogger to the next, not knowing where each blogger will take me.  Sometimes it's fond memories, sometimes it's stuff of nightmares...  The schizophrenic nature of SoulCast is something that really appeals to me.  No matter what mood I'm in, I seem to be able to find others who are in a similar situation as myself.

  Right now to reach out.

• IdeallySublime said on Feb 22, 2008....

  Yeah. What Grape said :- ) 

• dyingman said on Feb 22, 2008....

  To help others.  All my blogs (not here at SC) are for others to get info.
  Often because other worthy resources are too hard to understand or poorly organized or spread out over hard to find or temporary locations.

  I blog:
  
  
  to hear myself think
  
  
  to learn from others
  
  
  to push my writing into different areas

• Eilan said on Feb 22, 2008....

  I blog because I like talking about myself.

• wombat said on Feb 22, 2008....

  I'm still looking at you "tiny" people in the box, who are "large" in my heart.

• gorgutz said on Feb 22, 2008....

  I frequently blog when I'm at my worst or, less frequently, my best.. it helps me get things off my chest when I'm down and angry or when I'm high, I like to share what's going on and give people hope that if I can do it, they can too.  Right now I'm in a major dip, but things may be good again someday.  I blog because I can't punch people or save kittens from burning buildings every day.

• frustrations?me said on Feb 22, 2008....

  I blog because I as well like to hear myself think, I also like to hear what others think about what I am blogging about, and I think that maybe what I blog someone may read and see that what they are going through may be the same as what I am. I feel that when people see that crazy stuff happens to everyone, then they gain hope and do not feel so down when it happens to them.

  For the karma

• tbs230 said on Feb 23, 2008....

  I used to blog because there was too much to hold in. Writing helped me categorize and place some things aside.
  
  Now I blog because...I don't know. Sometimes it feels like a compulsion. I've kinda run out of things to say that don't sound redundant.
  

• boogiebear22 said on Feb 23, 2008....

  I blog...
  Because I think my husband gets tired of hearing me talk to myself.
  And because it's quite the emotional outlet.

• bluegum said on Feb 23, 2008....

  i blog to learn ,and hopefully i have something to offer

• MissMimi said on Feb 23, 2008....

  For all the reasons above.  I actually think Eilan's reason is very true. 

• Twylarants said on Feb 23, 2008....

  Me, too. For all the reasons everyone else does.
  
  

• SilmeBetty said on Feb 23, 2008....

  I blog because I can do it and I want... I can't write diary any more, so I write this. And I had a blog with my best friend in our mother language, it binds us.

• hotaka said on Feb 23, 2008....

  I think it's fun to share ideas or events in our lives. Previously I blogged just because it was more fun than writing a diary. I did it for myself. But on SoulCast I found we can share each other's lives and make friends. Now I often feel like sharing something with the group but I often can't find the time to write and post or to read and comment. Yeah, I blog because the people here make me feel like I have something worth reading.
