Why Blog?

If I'm counting correctly, this would be my fourth attempt at maintaining a blog.

Hmmm, let's change that catchy phrase "Third Times a Charm" to "Fourth Times a Charm," shall we?

While I much more prefer my tree-killing, but beautiful none-the-less, paper journal, it seems the world of online blogging has its advantages...

-I've never been a fast writer, but typing...what can I say? I gots some skills.
-I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD WITH MY ELOQUENT THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, AS EVERYONE WILL WANT TO READ THEM!...or not.
-It gives me something to do with my IBM Thinkpad (Don't hate, you know you're jealous), other than Facebook or read National Geographic Online.
-I can change the format, color, and font of my "not journal" whenever I want...yes!!
-Experience, Experience, Experience...I am, afterall, seeking to become a writer, and what better way to undergo maturation in my field than to actually WRITE!?!?

So why must I attempt, once more to blog? It's simple this time around...my advisor suggested it. Said it would be good. Said it's a good display of my writing. Said it's one of the only things I can do since my school is stupid and doesn't have a quality journalism program/any great ways for a now wasted talent like myself to get invovled (well, he didn't say this, but I did!...humbly, of course!) We'll see how it goes...

-always yours.
