What's the point?

Not meant to sound so fatalistic... yet...

Why do I care if the title sounds one way to you, dear reader, if I mean it in another way? Does this mean that the entire point of posting my thoughts is for your benefit, and not somehow, my own?

So, what exactly is the point of a blog. It is highly self-censored at this moment, and that makes it feel like a hoax, a sham, a farce, a US election -- basically bullshit.

I will have to deal with this. And even writing THIS post has me self-conscious. What the heck, man? Where do people find it in themselves just to say whatever? Is it authentic?

And is there any hope for the future of the world not calling these damn things blogs?
