To blog or not to blog?

So there was this blogging competition in college. I didnt take part in it. They still managed to make me blather out a few incoherent words. But I didnt register. 'Why?' they asked. Well, because. Its personal. Who likes to see their innermost feelings and thoughts put out on display especially to a group of people about whom they are about? But why do you blog then? - they asked. Well.. Its different. I blog because its a journal. I blog because it hones my writing skills. I blog because I want to. Its different if one of the people I talk about come across my blog by themselves. That, is a whole other ball game.
