When You Have Nothing Better To Do

I’ve been giving quite a bit of thought to why I’ve been finding the blogging….well, unappealing. (Yes – AGAIN. Just be quiet.) What I’m thinking right now (subject to change) is that I’m disturbed by the ‘trendiness’ of blogging. It seems that “everyone” has a blog. As you may or may not know, as soon as “everyone” is doing something, I immediately lose interest. Something about my character, I suppose.
I’ve considered the option of coming up with something wild and crazy to do with my blog forum – something that no one else is doing. Of course, since I’d be posting it on the World Wide Web, even if I HAD legitimately found something that wasn’t being done elsewhere, it would likely only be a matter of minutes before someone was imitating it. Sigh.

A “themed blog” is SO passé. “A blog about cooking.” “A blog about restaurant experiences.” “A blog about movie reviews.” “A blog written from a dog’s perspective.” “A cupcake blog.” (Actually, that last one is hard not to appreciate…just a little bit.)

I should also – I suppose – acknowledge how prone I am to boredom. Yes, it is true. I have observed, over the years, that I have a tendency to embrace new activities with great gusto in the beginning. Sadly, it is only a (short, generally) matter of time before I find said activity to be less than stimulating. It doesn’t help that I’ve undoubtedly also found a new activity that is “so much more me!” I’d put a little more thought into what that says about me, but I am so tired of self-analysis. That was so last month. (Ha. That’s actually pretty funny, since if there is ONE thing that humans never get tired of it is their individual selves. We people think that we (the individual) are SO unique, SO interesting, SUCH a mystery…blah, blah.)

[Ooops. Now that I’m looking back at this I’ve realized that the whole blog is about me. How embarrassing.]

Bottom line: I shall endeavor to use this space in an interesting manner. Perhaps I shall write. Perhaps I shall post hundreds of photos of Charles Rabbit. Perhaps I will translate popular song lyrics into Spanish. It’s hard to say. I guess you’ll have to keep watching to find out.
