Our friend Peiratikos (sounds poli greek to me, for those in the dark that means the one who pirates stuff, usually reserved to pirate software sellers, but anyway), has an interesting post on his website about blogging. Some points he raises are interesting, but I must say that as a general statement he might be right. I’ve not been blogging as long as him, I still haven’t done 1 year of this, and so many of my posts really are a complete shambles. The more I do this the more comfortable I’ll get and the more of my character will start showing through no doubt.

The thing is the reason I’m blogging has nothing to do with the reason he’s stating. I’m not really interested in telling people how to do things, or how the world is or whatever. I’m writing this as a personnal diary to myself, that I actually read from time to time to see where I was mentally about things a few months or days ago. I don’t check my web stats to see how many people actually visit the site. This is done for my benefit.

So why do I talk about cinema and comics and music, aren’t I recommending things? Sure I am, but I’ve not actually clicked with someone about these particular topics in nearly 10 years. Sure I’ve got friends that are into their movies and comics and books and music, but I don’t see them very often, or those conversations are far and few inbetween, so I type them here, at the very least I’m talking in my own way without seeming insane about topics I like. These are my thoughts dumped on a completely cheap medium ($8 for a web domain and $50 a year on web hosting isn’t going to break the bank to be honest, and if I really wanted to I could get a hell of a lot cheaper options, so I don’t know who he’s using as his web host company), this is not khaled’s law, you shall obey, these are khaled’s thoughts, if you’re intersting in reading them, great hope you get something out of them.

I guess blogging is something unique to every person. Whether or not is an action of granduer or simply a catharic exercise as it is in my case, that’s the beauty of blogging.
