03/10/2004: "What next?"

After a few short days, I've hit a bit of a quandry here. Back when I was thinking about blogging, it was oh so easy; I'd do my surfing and think ever so blythly, "I have an opinion about that! I should get a blog!" With one excuse torn away (that it's too much of a pain to get a blog started), I actually have to formulate words. And the words I formulate in my head sometimes just plain seem to lack merit. And meritless words do not gain repeat visitors.

It's a little easier to start out, I can 'catch up' and screed on about matters already past. But then I have to decide; do I post just to post, or let the page go blank for stretches. And what do I talk about, the burning issues of the day, or do I talk about me?

For now, I think I will post about anything I deem to be of public import, especially if I have a seemingly unique perspective to share. I'm not sure about the personal side; the blogs I most enjoy reading don't have that. Besides, so much of what I've done is just so wrong.

Heh, and since tumbleweeds can't read, I don't have to worry about too much unkind snickering.
Addendum----------------------------------------------
My most respected bloggers don't blog personal stuff all that much, except for Mr. Lileks. Check out the first three paragraphs here. Anyone that knows dogs knows that he knows dogs. Then again, I'm no Lileks. Then again, I'm not any of the people listed to the right.
