Exploring the other theories.

It is always interesting to ingest somebody's opinions on semi-pointed topics.  I guess that is part of the fuel that has grown the blogging, bbs, forums, and social networking entities as much as they have.  The opportunity to not only learn about other people's ideas but to contribute some of your own to the conversation.  It is an interesting landscape indeed.

I wonder what part of this concept drives me to blog in the first place?  I know I do this more for myself than for anyone else, a truly self-indulgent sort of behavior, but I do get a sense of something else as well. Despite my expectedly small audience I do always hope to be producing something of my greater quality efforts.  Is it to hopefully satisfy something for them(others and my future self) that is akin to the quality of interest I find reading somebody else's opinions?

I have to admit that I do get a kick out of reading my own stuff.  I am not sure why exactly but when I read it, even when it has not been a long time since it was written, it somehow has a somewhat surprising flow to it.  It even feels like I am reading something that somebody else wrote.  And the feeling I am now describing never seems to change very much at all.  It is a sort of out-of-body experience in a way.  I really do not know how else to describe it.

I wonder if I could explore this topic more deeply?  It seems there is quite a bit of undiscovered territory contained therein.  Could it have to do with expression vs. perception?  Is it naturally alter through the effects of time itself?  Does it describe the actual changes one makes, becoming a new person nearly continuously?  Are questions the only way to go about exploring such a potentially vague, untouchable subject?
