<p>Sometimes people will ask me why I put so much time into blogging. If you listen to the so-called experts, blogging can lead to poor social development, mental illness, violent outbursts and a peculiar itch that just won&#8217;t go away. Know what I call that? It&#8217;s a Hebrew word my messianic rabbi taught me:</p>
<p>First syllable: BA</p>
<p>Second syllable: LO</p>
<p>Third syllable: NEY!</p>
<p>BALONEY!</p>
<p>If anything, blogging increases mental health because it gives people an outlet for their thoughts, fears, hopes and frustrations &#8211; mental energy that, left to build over time, could result in honking your horn in traffic for no good reason, or worse!</p>
<p>OK, so I&#8217;m not taking the criticism of blogging that seriously, am I? Nope. That&#8217;s because the arguments against it hold no more water than the arguments in the 1950s against EC Comics&#8217; Tales of the Crypt. Most bloggers I know do a lot more than just blogging; it only stands to reason&#8230; after all, if they didn&#8217;t, what would they have to blog about?</p>
<p>I blog for one simple reason, and I put a little video up to explain it, HollywoodIdiocy.com-style: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F6S2G03QFg">Blogging Makes Me Happy!</a> To me, that&#8217;s more than enough reason to blog. It&#8217;s fun. It releases stress. It&#8217;s a way to write and have an immediate audience.</p>
<p>And in times like these, with gas soaring and the economy crashing, what could be more fun than making fun of rich, spoiled celebs. Am I right? Of course I am&#8230; because I&#8217;m certainly not a liberal!</p>
<p>All in fun. Enjoy the video!</p>
