Why are so many bloggers obsessed with this stuff?

Hige’s interesting thoughts on convention have got me wondering why I and other anime bloggers even bother?

Anime is a quirky media form. People either love it or hate it, but most of those that hate it are the uninitiated. People grew up on Dragon Ball Z discovered pornography and never looked back as they matured into booze and drugs in college. They go on to lead “happy” life not waving but drowning in debt and depression. This probably has nothing to do with their rejection of anime, but what if it does? Denying ourselves the things that make happy could ruin our lives. This is a bit of a stretch but so is staying up till 2 in the morning waiting for a fansub to come out and maintain my happiness. So we stay up till 2 in the morning to maintain our happiness and some of us choose to blog about the shows in a way to convey wisdom to others. It’s very rigorous for some, and for others its not. I try to post as much as I can but sometimes its just fucking hard.

I’m the guy thats quick to point out the fault in anything. Whenever someone says anything my mind fills with retorts. Which is why its hard for me to blog about stuff. I try to convey my favorites in a positive light, but I eventually degrade into talking about their faults. Thankfully I’ve got this summer to figure out whether or not to continue blogging into college, but thats neither here nor there. The important thing is that new blogs pop up everyday and the blogosphere balances itself out in the end.

I guess there’s no real point to this other than to say that sometimes blogging is hard to come by inspiration wise. I used to take inspiration for granted back when all I did was read the posts, but now I realize its a precious commodity.
