What is the purpose of....

blogging? This is something I have actually spent a lot of time thinking about lately. Having failed to come to a conclusion, it has kept me from posting lately. (Well that and being crazy busy now that kid #2 has arrived.) Do I want to blog for my own personal benefit? Do I want to blog so that I gain an audience and can benefit them? Or do I want to gain an audience so I can monetize them? I don't know. I have no idea what purpose I have in blogging, and yet I am addicted to the concept of having a place I can ramble on about anything and everything. Every time I try to come up with some specific aim or goal of this particular blog, I find it too constraining. Without a specific niche, I doubt this blog will ever gain much of an audience, however, maybe that isn't the goal. Maybe, if nothing else, this is a place where I can ramble on and on....and just get ideas and thoughts and complaints out of my head. So...unfortunately, a month or so into this blogging experiment, this blog still doesn't have any real direction. Although, one thing that I know I would like to do more of is comment on fantasy football. Originally I thought I would complain about the media, and point out when they said stupid things. I still might do this, but I think I will try to take more of a positive approach. If I feel the majority of the media has something wrong, rather than criticize, I'm going to try to offer a counter-opinion. So, if I tend to agree with the consensus, I probably won't comment on the subject. So, anyway, there is my current hazy, ambiguous thoughts on where this blog is going...essentially I have no idea, but I'm still hooked on the idea. I'm sure that eventually it will all make sense. Do you have any input on this, Hanson? Any ideas on what format this should take? Are you as into doing something with this as I am (even if you're not sure what)? Rather than comment, can you just post something responding to this. I know one thing that I always thought would be interesting would be to post some of our arguments in blog form, with posts, back and forth on our disagreements on various fantasy subjects.
