Keeping Up With The Bloggers


Do dogs desire to express themselves? I can imagine what their posts would be, "needed one large bone to bury", maybe their blog would include quick tips on getting rid of fleas or how to find a mate (not that far off from humans). Given the short lifespan of the average dog, I imagine the wisdom of the 3 year old collie would be quite extensive. I really don't imagine dogs would ever be complicated with such things; after all, inspecting the yard for anything smelly to roll in seems to be their most extreme concern, along with the occasional rattle of the 'treat' container to signal a brief oral pleasure. More brief for some than others (Ruby the gobbler!). I don't think they worry about their lack of free time to pursue the pleasure of intellectual pursuits, but how do I know for sure? Wishing for time to write doesn't help me a bit. As much as I've tried to pursue my passion to express through words, it just isn't happening. How do bloggers narrow down their blogging subjects to just one expression? I can't for the life of me decide on a topic or subject more than one blog at a time and thus comes the dropped blog. I admire the faithfulness of the committed blogger but fear the vacuum that may exist in the blogosphere. Can one really be a dabbling blogger? Can a writer express a limited train of thought and not get sucked into the vortex of random thought? Do most bloggers scrap old blogs only to find their niche in the blog world? I think I'll just continue trying, that's really all I can ask of myself. My only true passion, if it can be said that I have one, is to write. The only thing I can honestly say has stayed with me my entire life is that desire. What to write about has never been pinned down, but I do love to write. Let it be said that I can be a writer about writing, or a reader of all written. I can't pin down the subject because there is just too much to find interesting. I believe that's a good thing, I believe that's what is real. I'll never be an expert on one subject, so why not write from the angle of me. A writer, just that, nothing more and not acclaimed. If I only write for myself, than that will always be good enough for me. I'm just glad there are expert bloggers out there, it just gives me more to write about!
