What exactly is this blog?

This blog passed 200 posts a short while back. And though there was no fanfare I would like to have a few words on what a blog means to me. The great thing about a blog is it is a very personal expression, we all have different reasons for writing. I didn't know what this blog would be when I started it. I just knew that somedays I would experience a thing and think I'd like to blog about that. What I think I meant was that I would like to write about that thing I saw today and try to describe the experience to others. These others though who are they? This blog is purely about my expression, I don't know who my audience is so I don't write for them I write for me.However this causes a conundrum for why have a blog if you know nobody reads it?b I consider my blog a what I had for lunch type blog which isn't very interesting to the populace at large but as I said it's for me. As a creative outlet for me I enjoy the challenge of coming up with an entry nearly every day. Having a blog causes me to think about blogs, I read several, some on topics I'm interested in, some just people who I think write well. I try to learn from those I admire. Recently Greg Knauss filling in for Kottke and Ken Arneson over at Baseball Toaster have had some good blogger thoughts. Sometimes I tire of the blog and think I've got nothing to say. But all I really need is a couple days off and then I'm back at it writing about hair or cats or trains. So I'd say this blog whatever it may be will continue for another 200 posts however far off that may be.
