I've been lazy for the past few months. That's all there is to it, I have all the time in the world on my hands, but I'm not doing anything with it, besides play games. That's all fine and dandy, but when it comes down to it, it's a horrible waste of time. Unless, of course, I choose to use my God-given talents and write about something. Even if it is writing about games, at least I'd be stretching some sort of creative muscle.

And that's what blogs are for. So I'm writing this to declare to the Gamespot community that I've realized that if I'm going to make the most of my gaming addiction, I'm going to have to make something creative of it. So that's where blogging comes in. Simple as that. There's something special about blogging, see, writing reviews is a great thing to do, but you're bound by a few things, like deadlines, you're tied to a specific game, and you need to check your grammar and spelling. By the way, I always check my grammar and spelling anyway, but there's something about not having the pressure of having to.

But most importantly, blogging exercises an inner desire to express yourself to the world, in a way you can be completely honest. You know how famous writers always claim to have kept journals before they began writing books or articles? Well blogs are the same way, except you have a bonus: somebody might care. Journals are almost always private thoughts that at most the teacher might read, but blogs are different: people read blogs. Granted, not everyone likes to read other people's thoughts about something, but myself, even though just about no one reads what I write, I keep writing in the hopes that someone will one day and be enlightened, maybe even inspired by what I've written. At the most basic level, I want someone to enjoy a piece of my writing one day.

I don't know when that day may come, but if it does, please tell me. This is Aaron Jean, signing off, and hoping someone will read this blog post.

Peace out.
