I don't know about anyone else, but I get bored easily. Perhaps it's because I'm retired without a real world job, perhaps it's because I'm an inherently boring person, or perhaps it's because I like being bored. I really don't know.

When I started this blog, I started it as a journal of my new life in the Philippines. A few months later, it morphed into something completely different. It started to take on a life of its own. If you dig through the archives, you'll see exactly what I mean.

In the past, I wrote about how I was breaking the blogging monotony and the need for work. I still practice what I preach, although I don't seem to do as much as I used to do.

A few days ago, I was "tagged" by eJabs to answer this very simple, yet profound question.

The simple answer is that I blog to stay alive. Sounds melodramatic, doesn't it?

I'll repeat what I've probably said a hundreds time on this blog: I'm retired. Not only that, but I have absolutely no job and no responsibilities whatsoever. The story's long so I'm not going to make you wade through it. It's pretty boring.

You would think that I'd find something nobler to come up with, but stretching or bending the truth are difficult things for me. Anyway, if I didn't blog, I'm sure I would die of boredom and depression.

And that, my dear friends, is my final answer.
