More on Why I Blog
A few weeks ago BD commented that I seldom write about my blogging. Actually, there's not a whole lot to write about. I have tried to keep my posts as "non-controversial" as possible most of the time. I simply try to reflect on life as I experience it. I look around me and wonder what perspective I bring to it. Perhaps from time to time I should express a little more of what I think and feel, but so much of the time I find myself- as any good NF would- seeing both sides of the argument- or in many cases, perhaps- seeing how both sides are wrong.

In light of that I thought that it would be only fair to give some further insight into this mystery of a postModern Pilgrim. (At least this one.) So, here, from the Keirsey Temperment Sorter website is a partial description of my eNFp personality type:

Champions are inclined to go everywhere and look into everything that has to do with the advance of good and the retreat of evil in the world. They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives. And then they are eager to relate the stories they've uncovered, hoping to disclose the "truth" of people and issues, and to advocate causes. This strong drive to unveil current events can make them tireless in conversing with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out.

So, if anyone wonders why I spend my time doing this, that's probably as good an answer as any other. I have to. I discover stuff and want others to know about it. So I bubble and splash, spill over my own words- and hope someone is listening. But I used to do this in a journal where no one else ever read it, so maybe it's just liking to hear myself.

By the way, they call this personality type the "Champion Idealist" and it includes such luminaries as Bill Moyers, Joan Baez, Joseph Campbell, and Charles Dickens.

Oh, did I say that we tend to be a little ego-centric and self-promoting?
