Why blog?

I don’t guess it would be strange for someone I know personally to ask me why I blog.  Personal blogging isn’t exactly popular or even well-known in Arkansas.  Sure, lots of folks have Myspace’s and Facebook’s and some might even still have Xanga’s but, to me, those are used more for the I “know” so many people aspect of social networking than blogging.  I’m not sure exactly why I started a blog in the first place.  I created a Xanga quite a while ago because I knew a couple of people with them.  I wrote some but not really much of anything.  I’m not even really a writer.  I loved Math and Science in school – not really English & Social Studies.  A couple of years ago, I decided to branch out a bit and created myself a blogger.com blog.  As last year progressed, I blogged more and more and began enjoying it more and more.  Earlier this year, I decided to take a leap and buy my own domain (tarahog1980.com) and start using WordPress.  Karah then created me a lovely layout a while back.  Voila!  That is where NASCAR, the Hogs, & Me as you officially know it originated.  I hope to be blogging here for a long time to come.  I love to see my visitor count grow with my post count.  It gives me encouragement to keep writing and sharing.
