Sure feels that way. So many plans and not enough time to fulfill any of them. There's major housework with major expenses, minor housework with minor expenses, and work in general. So many creative projects yet to be started - like collecting, recording, and editing the stories I make up for my kids. So many projects not yet finished. And in the mix is this blog.

I'm still not sold on blogging. I write just to vent which means that when I blog there is an issue. My blogging, therefore, is argumentative and confrontationial. Whether it makes for interesting reading depends in part on my skill as an author and whether my writing approaches some state of lucidity.

But as I drove to work the other day I got to "figurin'" that many folks blog nearly daily on just plain old events. Does that make for interesting reading? It doesn't for me.

Monday: Woke up. Kicked the dog. Stumbled into the bathroom. Peed in the sink. Shaved. Took shower. Ate breakfast AND read the paper. Yelled at kids. Took kids to school. Went to work. Woke up from work. Picked up kids. Greeted wife. Ate dinner. Watched TV. Fell asleep.

Tuesday-Friday: same as Monday.

This type of blogging is boring. And right along with it are those blogs that mention nothing more than reading (and linking) to other people's blogs. Blog sex. Big whoop. Mutual hit masturbation. Snooze. How is this different than having a plain old web site with a bunch of links?

Is there such a thing a blog purity, like a gonzo-style blog where you record not what you are doing every moment but how you interpret what's happening to you? Can there be something more to blogging than the pressure to maintain the damn thing? Is there a true underlying purpose beyond that what we claim? I blog usually when I must rant but is there more to it?

While I think about all this, I'll copy Little Miss Attila's desperation tactics for hits/money: Paris Hilton, sex, camels, amateur videos, Bush, Iraq, Hard Place, Linux, XP, Oscars, pnorny. If you donate to my Paypal account I *MAY* post naughty pictures. Donate frequently and graciously.
