i havent been going to the gym lately. that must have resulted in some mass gone and obviously some muscles with it too. i need to go back to the gym real soon. i have to.

i find myself obliged to blog after realising that i havent done so for the past seven days. question is, is there really a need to blog? what is "blog"? undoubtedly it is a word which modernity has invented to meet our linguistic needs to do what, pen our thoughts? but what do you categorise it in the first place - a noun or a verb? if so, can you blog in a blog? that sounds odd does it, but perfectly alright?

and why do people blog in the first place? why do some choose to place their daily schedules- some mundane, others with a tad more spice in it- up on a public arena for the world to have a chance to only criticise it? then again on the flipside the world could very much adore you and your life, or at least what's been put down in words. other blogging sites allow fellow users, even annonymous ones, to post comments to entries; some are even allowed to rate the entry, to give it a thumbs up or down. now why do people do all that / why do some people take blogging to be a form of emotional release, or, in other times and situations, a form of typing out your thoughts as it passes through your mind? are there no other ways to do these things but only through technology? have we been overtaken? oh, don't be mistaken, i'm a fan of technology and globalisation and all that jazz, but has it come to a stage where we have been obliged to "blog", whatever that even means.

strangely enough, i write (this word is used in an odd fashion now isn't it?) this entry in order to keep my blog alive with some words i find new since seven days of my last entry. strangely enough, this entry is about why people blog when i, a "blogger", can't even find a reason of doing so, not even now.
