Whats The BIG deal?

So what’s the big deal about blogging, I've asked myself this couple of times and well Iv decided to figure out after all. Ok so I understand that maybe I’m asking this question a little late considering that maybe im catching on to the phenomena a little too late BUT im catching only to figure what actually is the big deal? Like really isn’t blogging just saying things u wouldn’t say otherwise? And if you wouldn’t say them then why say it at all? And if u would say it then why write it just say it... and if u wish to say it to a wider audience does it really matter what people you don’t know might think?

I’ve been told im not a writer, and maybe I’m not I don’t think I need to write to express and also why would anybody actually be interested in what my day was like or what I think of a movie event or a crisis in my life? Isn’t it a little ploy to get attention? and believe me if u can write it you can say it and to think about it saying is much more fun coz u have the added bonus of hand gestures expressions noises and the cue to shut up when the other person looks unintrested.like right about now I’m wondering why your reading this, your wondering why your reading this yet both of us are not stopping,im not sure when I’m supposed to stop, or should I continue to ramble on about my day, my life, events which effect me or jus about anything under the sun.

Iv had friends who blog and quite frankly they surprise me, its like I'm not even too sure if iv actually known that person all this while, and it makes me wonder why I don’t see that side too often, why he/she isn’t as articulate in reality, why aren’t elaborate words used just as frequently, where all this anger emotion and philosophical banter come from? And why aren’t they brought up in general conversation? And if we aren’t worthy of this conversation or are incapable of understanding then why are we friends in the first place?Also If blogging is soo personal, a form of self expression why is it out there for the world to read?

And that brings me to my last question doesn’t blogging then just become an escape route- something we wish to say but cant, something we think feel but don’t talk about, something somewhere slightly superficial?
So ya maybe it is a big deal cause we need to figure what is real, who is the real you, which is your real life? The life that you live or the blog that you live thru?
