I was actually able to pinpoint why I keep this blog while I was crossing the Ben Franklin bridge today. Most of the time I write that I never really know why I continue this blog and that I’m just posting to post. My initial reasoning to why I maintain it is because once I get enough people to read it, I can sell ad space and turn it into a profit center for myself. This is why I’d play into the Suri Cruise and Brandi Passante nonsense hoping for stardom even though it’s not giving my readers my true thoughts. It’s just a ploy and fakers always get exposed or it’s just a flash in the pan. Providing substance and novel ideas and thoughts is what builds a foundation.
I realized that this blog provides me with a voice. It allows me to get my thoughts out of my brain into a database. It’s me. This website is my life and when I pass on it will always be here. This proves I existed and what type of a person I am. It doesn’t really matter who reads this or whether they comment or anything else that I sometimes complain about. This blog isn’t about you, it’s about me. Catering to an audience is not the right mixture. If I want to write about Iron Mike Tyson, I should write about him. Maybe I want to write about how I thought Marlon was the cooler Wayans brother and how Sean ruined that show on the WB. I can’t worry or let other dictate how I think. I absolutely do this in my life. It’s hard not to. Stay true to yourself and things will work out for the best. Hopefully this blog will take off so I can profit now…
