When I'm up at 3am dropping Entrecards or perusing the internet scavenging for the latest Blogger hack tricks or the most lucrative and ingenius method to generate a little income...I often wonder what the motivation is for me. Why do I blog?Is it the need to share with others my most personal accomplishments or most heart-wrenching defeats. Is it the thought that I might possible earn a check from Google Adsense for $14.53 (wow, wonder what it'll be next month). Surely, that couldn't be the reason. So, what is it that draws me here.
I've ventured into the blogosphere on 3 separate occasions. First, I was just doing something to kill time. Boredom...is the invention of many wonderful things. But once you're not bored anymore...your inventions and new solitary hobbies quickly fall into that not so important anymore arena.
My second time around I felt like my blog was too topic specific. I focused completely on politics, politics and more politics (which was great during our last presidential campaign).
Once Palin had gone back to Alaska, McCain had gone back to the Senate, and Obama was heading for the White House, I found myself completely "lost". So, I just shut the site down. A site that had over 200 readers and a google PR of 5!But I'm back! And this time my entire outlook is so very different. I'm newly divorced and feeling a freedom I haven't experienced in my adult life. So, it's basically like letting your hair down and allowing your mind to take your fingers where ever you want to go. I can be me - no matter how silly or trivial or sarcastic or inconsequential that may be. Blogging is a reflection of me...
....now let me see...what shall I post about today?
