Why I Blog

As I write this post, I don’t do it to tell you why I post–I’m doing it to find out myself.

I’d like to note I don’t really know why I blog.
One of my main reasons is probably to improve my written English. It’s above average, but not good enough.

Another would be to share my thoughts with the outside world, friends aswell as strangers.
I’ve always been comfortable online–seeing as I’ve been in communities where we played computer games from the age of eleven or twelve.

The bottomline is… I don’t know why I blog, but I hope to find out one day.

The Blogathon is On

This is my first post of this years’ Blogathon.
I’m supposed to be blogging for 24 hours, every 30 minutes–which, if you do the math, will end up with 48 posts.
Why? To support a charity of our choice.
Please, support my cause, the Association for International Cancer Research by clicking this link.

My first post is four minutes late, for which I apologise; I haven’t forgotten about it (my computer is a bit slow on startup).
I’m going to come up with subjects as I write–hopefully I won’t run out of ideas, or I’ll have to meme me out of it.

Every hour I’ll do one post about a thing I like, a rant–a regular blogpost, aswell as a status report.

I’ll be dedicating this Blogathon to a friend of mine who passed away from cancer at a very young age.

So… without further ado: let the games begin :)

Blogathon 2006

I’ve decided to take part in the 2006 Blogathon event.
This means I’ll be blogging for a charity, I chose Association for International Cancer Research, mainly because a friend passed away from cancer, not long ago. He was 17 (I believe).

I’ll be writing one post every thirty minutes for twenty four hours, totalling a massive 48 blog posts in 24 hours.

I’m sure my blog’ll be the most boring, and there’s a good chance I’ll fall asleep. I’m just gonna do the whole thing standing, so if I fall asleep I’m gonna wake up when I hit the ground ;).

Right, July 29 at 9:00am, EST time (can anyone tell me what that is in UTC?). Be there–and watch me.

And please, please:

Consider making a contribution!
