As a postscript to the Why Blog? post, my blog is a new self of mine that I have created. It is a mask I wear. I put my blog on, I play at being me on my blog, I am not myself but I play myself on my blog. It is a new identity that I am forging, one that permanently alters my old identity. We shape our blogs, and they in turn shape us.
My blog is a persona, and persona means mask, but mask in the ancient sense of something that sounds goes through, per-sona, per-sonics. My blog is my voice. I am blogger, hear me roar.
