And indeed it is! But why should that be so? I enjoy writing, and adore ranting. And what is a blog than a written rant? The problem, I suspect, is that this particular rant is to be heard by nobody, nor is it structured in such a way as to build into something greater than the sum of X thoughts. With no audience or purpose, it has assumed a certain diaryishness. And I am not a diary writer.
Two solutions present themselves. First, that we may discard the independent blog (i.e. digging a hole in the ground and burying a letter) in favor a group blog. By doing so an audience would immediately appear, which would provide greater motivation (one wishes to impress, no?) and a bit of healthy competition. A group blog would also allow for greater interaction between ideas, and for the unraveling of petite ideas into grander discussions through the process of debate and commentary.
Alternatively, I might take it upon myself to put these moments spent blogging to greater use. By expanding on those ideas most on my mind I might eventually develop sufficient content to be of use – if that content is properly directed. Yet it is hard to image in a solitary blog as an ideal outlet for my mind, if only because I have a hundred other priorities competing for time. And, because these priorities are more immediately relevant to my present relations and future aspirations, their demands ring more clearly.
Ah, case in point! My patience for this blog has already expired, time to devote myself to tomorrow’s demands.
