To blog or not to blog

That's not really the question.

The question is why do so many bloggers feel the need to apologize when they're not blogging? I'm sure I'm included in there somewhere, so I'm not pointing fingers.

Okay, I put this little button on my sidebar, but I think it's time to bring it to your attention.



I have read quite a lot of blogs that mention being in a funk (yeah, I *know I already blogged on that - today, in fact), but I've read more today that talk about the pressure of blogging, the expectation of blogging something everyday and not always "feeling it".

Well, why do you blog? (yes, I know that I've already asked THAT question, too)

Actually, no I didn't. I actually blogged about whether or not your blog is public or private to your IRL friends.

So, why do you blog?

If it's for YOU, don't worry about when, how, or how often you post.

If you get paid for it, well then, quityerbitchin and get back to work.

(Oh, and if you're from Ugly Outfits New York? YOU should feel guilty. At least a little bit. :-) Post another photo already! It's tourist season for pete's sake! Ugly outfits abound in NYC in the summer.

Even I, upstate hick that I am, know *that.

Geesh, the last update was July 24th. What gives?)

But really, isn't this an outlet for most of us? A place to complain, observe, document our lives, spout off, pout, be funny or try-being-funny?

Relax. It's the weekend. And there's sure to be more blog fodder around town.

Or "Real Life" to live. And laundry. Let's not forget about the laundry.

Enjoy the day.
