Like many who sit at their computers making what often seems like a feeble attempt to compete with literally millions of blogs; I stare at the blank page. I search through my archives of photos, videos, music and articles trying to find something, anything that might appeal to others and altogether too often I end up posting absolutely nothing.
What I have come to realize lately is that the secret is diversity. Not everything that is being posted on any blog appeals to everyone. Those like me who follow dozens upon dozens of blogs pick and choose the things that interest us on one level or another and based on volume alone it would be almost impossible to leave a comment or remark on every blog that I or anyone else visited.
Many feel the need to be specific in their postings, politics, porn, photos, entertainment, books, film reviews etc. and while this works for them, I find myself interested in, 'well", almost everything.
My thinking at this point is; why not just blog about anything and/ or everything that interests me and, then, hope that someone feels the same way.
In the end, perhaps that is what blogging is all about; not regarding it as a competition to gain the 'most' number of followers or how many comments are posted on a particular posting, but rather a forum for sharing experiences, information, ideas and interests that might appeal to 'you' whoever 'you' are.
This blog, 'my blog' I hope will reflect this philosophy. Expect everything from politics to porn, history to hysterical, musical to musing, adventure to adversity, justice to jokes, and everything in between.
To those who have already stopped by and left a comment or two; Thanks. I appreciate your input. To those you who just drop by out of curiosity, I trust you found something to entertain or inform you, and please, visit again, you might be surprised by what you find.

there is really no right or wrong about subjective posting a blog item...have been blogging now since geocities, webrings etc dark days on web 1.0 circa 1998 thereabouts..
However, I have taken the approach the blog needs a 'thread' a 'genre' or 'event' ties the posts and gathers the niche to the hive through tags and good search engine placement. I find life reflects all things in any thread or theme that gathers my blog. Here at typepad, it's my 'webcam social' fetish but all things considered.
This does make for a rather bothersome trail of abandoned blogs based on my previous obessions or genres and most preoccupations last about a year and a half before getting bored and moving on because am searching for the 'holy grail' of blog content that will drive comments, chat and engaging conversation over to my humble desktop PC and stationary butt-chair sitting at the flat here in San Francisco. You know there is a thing called the beach and a Golden Gate bridge nearby and think saw these about 10 years ago. I need to get out more often. enuff said.
LOL ;p
