Jumping on the band wagon

What is the allure of blogging? One of the off handed comments that come to mind when I think of bloggers is People that like the sound of their own voice. I guess in the sense of blogging it is more like People that have something to say and harbor some hope that what they say will actually make a difference or impact someone else. Or could it be that bloggers are those that just enjoy arguing, so they post something in hopes that someone offers a different opinion and thus fulfil the bloggers need to offer rebuttal. Peronally I don't have any pressing subjects, but I'm sure I could come up with them if I attempted the process. I'm one of those types, and I know this, that is quick to fire off the e-mail or respond to a post just because I can type fast. Also, I can now wait for the moment for someone to give me the opening to state, "Yeah, I have a blog, meh." Or better yet, "Yeah, I used to blog. It got old quick." I guess I'll run over to wikipedia and read up on blogging and get some guidance on the correct manner in which to proceed. Then maybe return and try out my new skillset.
