All my Rowdy Friends are Bloggers

For those of you who have been consistently reading my posts (Thanks, Mom!) you may have found yourself searching my words for some deep, greater meaning and focus. You were probably trying to rationalize why a young buck like me with plenty of other responsibilities, would even bother posting his nuggets of wit and wisdom to a public website.

The answer is a simple one.

Ok, full disclosure, there is no answer. In my defense, it doesn't get more simple than being non existent.

But lately, I've noticed a lot of my friends blogging. Their respective focuses range from fan fiction to theology to NASCAR to whimsical storytelling and everything in between. Here's what's cool: They're all fun to read! I read (most) of them all! I can't wait til the next ones are published!

So you probably rationalize "Oh, he does it cause everyone else does it."
Not so, I say to you, not so.

I actually do this because NO ONE does it.
"Hold your horses", you rationalize again, "You just said--"
I know what I said.  I said I have friends who blog about a myriad of topics. But NONE of my friends blog about the bluegrass life (none of my friends argue with imaginary blog readers either).

You could say, it's my niche. Let's face it: I can't begin to give you what the Storymonger gives you. I'm an atrocious novelist.  I can't re-launch The Art of Manliness, because all of my research would refer back to the original Art of Manliness.
But I do know about my Life as a Bluegrass Musician! Oooh I like that title....

So forgetting about the fact that all my friends are doing it, I am contributing to the deep well of Internet wisdom by presenting you with the things I know about!

You're welcome, earth!

So this is to shout out to all my rowdy friends who post blogs either somewhat regularly, very regularly, or just that once before you forgot about it. Thanks for keeping people reading and thinking. Thanks for sharing your experiences, insights, and entertainment with the rest of us.
