Who am I what am I doing here?

Today I've decided to write about the fact that I guess I don't really know what a blog is. I'm obviously new to the site, but all the other blogs seem to be about an event, or a trip that people are on. With pictures. So am I in the right spot? Guess not. But I've decided to write anyway, and have what I write slip into the internet vortex. I suppose we are all on here because we want people to read what we have to say, which to me is kind of arrogant in itself. "Hey look at my blog everybody, I'm so intelligent". Just the kind of self promotion that runs rampant today. But we are all victims of ourselves in my opinion. Its easier for me personally to write about how I feel, than to express myself in an open discussion, even with close friends and family. That is just how its always been and writing has always been my comfort zone. I guess what I'm doing here would be more like an editorial/journal, which as I write that, makes absolutely no sense at all. Perhaps this is the gigantic waste of time it appears to be. Or that could be my low self esteem talking. Or it could be the fact that my friend told me only women and gay people blog.....Sure is an asshole way of looking at it, but hes an arrogant douche who only sees things through his narrow-minded viewpoint. Hopefully I'm here to stay...stay tuned!
Thank you for your time.
