Why do we blog?

I've heard that some people think that "unless you blog every day, you shouldn't bother."

In my case, "random thoughts" don't occur on a schedule. They wouldn't be random now would they? They would have to be called "daily thoughts." I certainly don't feel an obligation to service a commitment on a daily basis.

Is a blog a means to release one's creativity (or whatever) that is otherwise bottled up? Perhaps.
Or is it a self-created assignment with rigorous rules? Who sets those rules? You the blogger or someone else who has an opinion of how you should behave?

Is the blog a tool for expression and communication or an obligation/commitment/requirement to cough up creativity on a daily basis? I would hope it's the former. I'd much rather read well thoughtout blogs than daily junk.

But on the other hand, if blogging is your means of allocating some quality time for yourself (whatever the outcome), great.

It seems to me that you can look at the blog as a tool for you or a taskmaster to which you are enslaved.

That's all for now (and maybe for quite awhile). I gotta run put an X over today's calendar date (I always do that at exactly this time every day)...
