Blogging - The Antacid
I've noticed that the more often I blog, the more mundane the content becomes and far less vitriol gets injected. To me, the ranting is the fun stuff and the day-to-day stuff is simply boring. I just don't lead that exciting a life and telling others about it is even less stimulating. I mean, exactly how exciting is it to know that I watched nearly all of the West Wing marathon yesterday while retro gaming with Sid Meier's Civilization 2, Civilization 2: Test of Time, and Sid Meier's Civilization 3? BFD!
To me, the extraordinary, the biting, the abnormal and the inciting rhetoric is far more entertaining and thought provoking--even if those thoughts are of anger, disappointment, or dissent. Discourse is a discussion, an exchange of ideas, thoughts and points and counter-points. Relating mundane details of my generic actions is one-sided regurgitation which stimulates little more than the sleep centers of the brain.
To that end, as the blogger, it becomes my responsibility to step it up and establish the, albeit solo, discussion. This involves creativity and thought, neither of which are generally brimming on a Monday (or Tuesday after a long weekend). So let's see what sort of exhilarative verbal spewage I can eek out in the next couple of days. ;)
