why blog（天涯博客搬家之第二篇）

blog.coms have mushroomed nowadays. people use it to express themselves quite openly. it is great in this aspect. in my school days i was considered being good at writing. the books i enjoyed so much were "october" "flower city" and the like. they were periodicals, actually. i am still uncertain how much i could truly understand them. i spent time reading them partly because i believe i would leave the impression to others that i was maturer than students around my age, and partly because i felt the need to feed my soul then. as a man well over 30,i am still in great need of soul search. problem is i dont feel like writing anymore. so, why lots of others are so enthusiastic about blogging? writing, to winston churchill, is cheerful. he thought the feelings were great when he was in the mood to write on a nice day in his cozy study. and writing, to zhaoxinshan, is a way of living. in one of his books which was about a famous musician,he emphasized the undescripable pleasure writing brought to him.he said perhaps a man over 40 could keenly feel this. maybe he is right in that. my dad completed his autobiography not long ago and wanted me to look at it carefully. i admit i did not do that. i just read a few paragraphs.but the fact is obvious: each person, as ordinary as my dad, has the need to say something and want to be listened. we are too ordinary to be noticed. but we concern about the world as much as we do to our family and ourselves. what we say now will make sense some day and it is the reason that keeps me blogging.
