It's simply a question.

When I was little, I would ask it repeatedly in response to answers, desperately hoping that at some point it would help me uncover a universal truth.

It didn't. Well, except that cold pizza eaten the next day tastes better without refrigeration.

And that's the point. Ultimately there is no answer to the question. Some people choose to shoot back with "Why not?" but I find that to be unsound. It begs a question back to the inquiring mind.

So, I simply say "because." No uppercase, no exclamation, no ellipses. To anyone who might question why anyone else has a right to put a stake in the ground, to put thought down to electron, to share what should most likely be a private diary entry, I rejoin "because."

I choose to share some thoughts, feelings, observations, sometimes witty commentary. You choose to read it, or not.

Why? Because.
