do be, do be, do be, doooo….

So, I was asked to Never Ending Question yet once again the other day.

“Why do you write those things?”

A variation of this question crops up periodically.  Usually it is asked after I write about something like my toenails, or my hair….or lack of it, or any number of other posts I have made to this website.

The answer is simple, with a kernel of complexity.  Just like me.

I write what I do because I can.  I write what I do because it brings me a sense of accomplishment.  And I simply enjoy it.

But it isn’t completely all that simple.

I fancy myself a writer.  And since I do fashion words and post them out on the interwebs for people to read, I AM a writer.  No, I don’t earn a living from it…..not to say that if someone offered me products to try and then to review that I wouldn’t accept such offers….hint, hint, hint.  Or if someone wanted to use my website for advertising, or want me to write copy for them…I think I could wrap my head around that…

Wait.

I got lost there.  You see, I have a million things going on in my head on a daily basis.  I observe my world, and that observation results in thoughts.  Sometimes those thoughts are even in a logical order….most times not.  If I were a Mom I would most likely talk to you about my kids and their latest exploits.  If I were a tech savvy kind of guy, I might talk to you about the latest gadgets and trends.  Unfortunately, I am neither of those.  I am just this guy over here who woke up this morning with the title of the post running through his head.  I composed the majority of this in my head before I got up for the first cup of coffee.

And it was mighty fine coffee, if I do say so myself…and not, I didn’t make it.  Though I do make a fine cup of coffee, thank you very much.

And after coming up with that title, I was very proud of the very first sentence….do be, do be, do be, dooo…

Yes, I write the things I do because I can.  Yes, I write the things I do because it brings me a sense of accomplishment.  And yes, I write the things I do because I entertain the hell out of myself when I do.

Score.
