Why I Roll My Own Blog: Having your own blog rather then relying on Kuro5hin.org and others has many benefits.
Occasionally people as I why I blog.
I have a story to tell and a life to share.
I want people to read and experience a little piece of my world.
I have a desire to express.
I want to be an individual.
It's not because I want to impress anyone.
It's not for a girl friend, a boy friend, my boss or anyone else.
I just want to develop a sense of idenity.
Some kind of meaning.
Reflect upon my own priorities in life.
I want to figure out right and wrong.
I want to be able to look back and see what I've done wrong
and right.
I am reminded of this Peter, Paul, and Mary song from the 1968 Album 1700.
If I Had Wings
If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly
The bird sings, no one asks why.
I can see in myself wings as I feel them
If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself,
I'll fly free then.Yesterday's eyes see their colors fading away
They see their sun turning to grey
You can't share in a dream, that you don't believe in
If you say that you see and pretend to be me
You won't be then.How can you ask if I'm happy goin' my way?
You might as well ask a child at play!
There's no need to discuss or understand me
I won't ask of myself to become something else
I'll just be me!If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly
The bird sings, and no one asks her why.
I can see in myself wings as I feel them
If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself,
I'll fly free then.
