The Purpose-Driven Blog?

Interesting discussion at lunch today. We were talking about blogs and their random nature; i.e. most folks' blogs are fairly stream-of-conscienceness (spelling? rats--too lazy to look it up) and don't really have a purpose other than entertainment value. Should they? Why is it that I'm typing this right now although only my husband really knows of this blog's existence? (and another question is: will I ever get the chutzpah to tell anyone else?) Is it just because I like to see my own words in print? Do I really want to share with someone, or just dazzle him/her with my witiness (uh-oh... if THAT's my goal, then...)?

And why is it that I have so many parenthesis? I appear to be an addict.

Would anyone read a book if I titled it: "The Purpose-Driven Blog"? And what would be in it? AND... would I use a pen name or my real name (Esmerelda)?
