What to write about?

Well, as you know, it's been awhile since I was blogging regularly. In 2007, I blogged almost daily and read many other blogs ever day as well. Well here it is near the end of 2008, and I have returned to blogging.

I stopped because it bugged my girlfriend (at the time) that I was talking about my life and people were reading it, and I was reading about other people's lives. She was almost jealous of it, but I think it was more of a slight disgust than jealously.

I am no longer dating her, and it took me awhile to get over her. I really loved, and in part still do love her. She's in the past, and I am trying to move forward. I am trying to reclaim some of the things in my life that I truly enjoyed to do for me, and blogging was one of them.

Now of course I can't blog about work, because I would probably be fired. I can't blog too much about my recent forays into the dating world, as I don't want to scare off any potential future "sweeties"... Or have them think I am a weirdo (at least not until they get to know me!)

I could write about current events or politics, and I do have passionate opinions about those topics. I could do movie or book reviews, or comment on the latest episodes of some TV show I just watched, but to what end? Everyone and their neighbor are writing about those things, and while I might have a bigger audience with those subjects, that's not the reason I write.

I write because I enjoy writing, and I write about the subject I know the best: My Life. So I ramble on and on about my life, and some people will find that boring... I live it, so I know that's true. Some people might laugh at some of the stupid things I do, because I laugh at myself often enough... or maybe it's just my wacked out sense of humor.

So I am going to continue writing about nothing, or something, or whatever comes to my mind, and hopefully someone somewhere will read it and comment on it. Maybe my future "Sweetie" will read it and say - "There's the soul mate I have been looking for!"... Ok, yeah, I was reaching!

Later Lou
