Why "World Without End?"

It was either that or "State's Evidence."

Why write a blog? Why offer the unwashed masses unfettered access to the arcane clockwork that spins and clicks in the scrambled mush of me noggin?

Let me <UL> the arguments:

• It will encourage me to write every day (yeah, right-- twice a week seems optimistic)


• It will keep me from sending two dozen links to my friends every day. Let 'em read here at will.


• It will keep me off the streets (yeah, right-- blogging will succeed where interventions and restraining orders have failed.)


• I don't have to describe the consistency, texture, and undigested contents of my every bowel movement on my blog, as some tend to do. Better to provide a vague syndrome through considered irrationallity.


• I lose so many cool ideas because I don't write them down, maybe this'll help.


• A blog is cheaper than a therapist, and its readers are much more judgemental.

So, welcome to the Schadenfreude, baby!
