It has come to my attention, while reviewing my blog readership survey results, that many people were puzzled about why I (or anyone for that matter) would take on the onerous responsibilities of blog ownership and upkeep.

Many suggestions have been made as to the real reason. Some have indicated that I am writing under the misconception that people read my blog for a reason other than making fun of it to their friends. I am under no such misconception.

Others have stated that it's because I'm a second born and will do whatever devious thing required to put myself in the limelight. That is a thought to be considered. After all, what is "limelight?" I don't recall seeing lime colored light before. As a spokesman for Sprite, Kobe Bryant could be considered in the "limelight." I can clearly see that analogy. But with Kobe, Sprite, etc, there always seems to be a lemon with your lime.

Along with the "limelight" suggestion came the hint that it's ego. I take offense at this suggestion. It's much to true to merit further discussion.

Still others suggest that it is because I have nothing worthwhile to do. This is flat out wrong. I have tons of extremely important things to do. But I am a blogger of discernment and choose to blog instead.

We'll move on.

I'm sure there's something important going on in my life that I could report at this time. However, I choose to leave you with these choice thoughts.
