A new hobby?

Have been hearing friends going on and on about keeping a blog. Does sound a little controversial but decided to give it a shot in the end. I mean, why would you want people to be reading about your inner thoughts? Bare your naked emotions? Feel vulnerable? I don't know why but I suppose there's this inner desire in everyone to express... and this does seem harmless. It's almost like every author here is annonymous to me. Who's to find out who's who in reality?

Perhaps at the end of the day, being mysterious does appeal. Show everyone your soul but not your body. Well, to share your happiness, misery, anger, disappointments with people (even those that you do not know) makes one feel alive?
