I want to write a blog that people are interested in but I have to be interested in it at the same time. The problem? I'm boooring. Seriously. You don't want me to blog about what's dear to my heart. It would turn into a huge blog smashed together with rants about my intense liberal views along with f list celebrity gossip. Then there would be posts where I mixed the two together and start complaining about paparazzi take photos of celebrity kids. It's just wrong!
Most importantly, if anyone ever did happen to google 'homeless bears eating other homeless bears for a nominal fee' and happened to stumble upon my obscure blog, I would want to entertain them. Regardless of the fact that they are sickos and not very bright. Seriously who would want to see a bear do that? And offering a bear U.S. dollars is totally barking up the wrong fee tree. Everyone knows the U.S. currency is down on it's luck at this point in time. My point is, I want to be an equal opportunity entertainer.
So my goals for this blog is to avoid talking about my politics, avoid talking about pop culture and maybe not complain about things. Maybe I'll do it anyway. We'll see.
Some of my favorite bloggers manage to write about absolutely nothing. Blogs about nothing! They should do a show about nothing. But that's already been done really well twice (Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm) and then really awful 726845689434 times (Living Lohan, etc). And then there were other ones that I loved that carved out a little niche, got a book deal and then figured they never had to blog again. Like fu penguin and Stuff White People Like. They were so good.
I think maybe I'll blog about the nothingness I do as a stay at home and various attempts and failures at crafting projects. But I'll try to make it better than it sounds.
