		<description>Hi, Alex!  Me again, learning what a &quot;meme&quot; is, so I can pass the information along in my world with the Gotta Get Goals project.  I read your About -- you sweet young thing!  (That is not a come on, I&#039;m just feeling old!)  I think you are what they call an &#039;old soul&#039; and I wish you the very best in your many interests.  Here I am, an old dog (figuratively, of course!), learning new tricks.  It&#039;s good to be extraordinary, which assures your life will be the same.  Thanks for the info &amp; very positive outlook!

I blog because I can&#039;t help myself -- this is the best way to amuse &amp; entertain myself, support my book &amp; offline writing, and enjoy a running conversation, even if no one else is listening!  It really helps maintain sanity with young children around, too.

But I also blog out loud, instead of in a journal, because words &amp; experiences can help someone else along their journey, just to know they are not alone in their thoughts &amp; challenges.  We never know what might help, who or when, and the beauty of the blog is that it&#039;s all out there.  Right on #5!</description>

		<description>I started blogging only a month ago just to have a feel of it. It&#039;s fun and addicting. It&#039;s bad if you can&#039;t control it. 

Also, I thought it&#039;s a great way of expressing oneself without the fear of others criticizing what you do, say or write. I was wrong. Everyone&#039;s watching and reading, some even listening. 

That&#039;s blogging for me.</description>

		<description>I blog for pretty much the same reasons that you do. A combination of reasons centred on me and reasons centred outside me.</description>
