Today is Tuesday, so I thought I'd write a blog. I sat down at my computer to write this blog. I logged onto blogger.com and clicked the button to begin writing a blog. The problem came up that I had NO idea what to write about. I thought for a bit I could write about my day. The problem with that is that my day was as boring as everyone else's.
A blog should be witty I thought to myself. Some blogs are serious though another part responded. Other blogs are informational shouted a third part, though that part is lame and the other two called it a dork. A fourth part suggested that it be about whatever I was feeling at the moment. The first two pondered the suggestion, as did the rest of me.
Hmmm. I thought whatever I am feeling. What am I feeling at the moment? Well not too much so lets not go with that suggestion.
The problem vexed me greatly. A blog needs a topic, a purpose as does any other piece of writing. How can one aimlessly write and hope for people to be interested? Well, they could but it would be idiotic of them to do so. I looked around my room for an idea, a spark that would flash from something. It didn't work however. A room full of moving boxes doesn't really make a mind "spark" to life.
The remaining parts threw some suggestions out, "how about something you are interested in?" or how about something that you want to rant about?" "While possiblities," I responded, "I don't think either is going to be of much interest in me."
Talk about music or video games. No. Over done and simple.
Talk about how much you really don't like nuts. Nay. Too mundane for such a place.
Talk about how when you were younger you had misconceptions of the world, you could bridge that to theory theory. No thank you part three. I thought you had left? For a bit but I'm back. Great.
How about you enlist others in your quest for a topic? I paused. That is a great idea!
Moving my cursor over to my Facebook tab, I tapped the mousepad then proceeded to move it to the box labelled "Whats on your mind?" Another click and I typed "Working on blog. Should be interesting. Whats a topic to write about?"
I quickly forgot about my status and moved onto something else. A bit later, a message appeared at the lower right of my screen alerting me of a new email from Facebook. I quickly went to the facebook tab and checked the notifications. YES! It was something relevant to my quest! Or so I thought. Suspicion had crept into people's mind about my goals.
It will be ok Chris softly spoke the first part as it stroked my hair.
Cheer up Chris. Don't let it get you down.
Well maybe I should forget about writing a blog today.
If you think that is best, maybe. You are having a difficult time with a topic. There is always writing about something informational though.
Shut up third part. No one wants to hear your idea.
Time pasted and the quest was forgotten. Then appeared another message in the lower right of the screen. Could this be pertaining to my quest?
It was. A friend suggested a blog about how backwards Peta is. A topic that I had no heart for, for I sunk lower in my depression about a blog topic. I slumped to the flower and raised my limbs at the heavens cursing the futility of writing a blog!
I never should have started one in the first place I screamed. To myself of course.
I was distracted by another noise from the computer. Another message from Facebook. Oooo I thought. I am easily distracted so sometimes I forget what I am doing while half way through it.
Another suggestion. It posed the suggestion to write a blog about finding a topic for a blog. A very meta idea. I like meta. This is meta. My meta blog. Or was it a story? A meta story? Regardless. My blog is about how I found a topic for my blog. or is it about being a blog topic? I'm confused.
