5 Reasons I Don’t Blog (Much)
April 10th, 2007 by mike
1. I don’t have anything to say. As the words to psycho killer go:
You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?Psycho Killer,
Qu’est-ce que c’est? (fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa faaaa fa fa fa).
If I can’t add anything of interest or note, I don’t add anything at all.
2. A conversation requires people talking and listening. I like to listen (at least online 
). I spend a lot of time reading other people’s stuff, to try to find my position. Until I know what that is, I am not going to fake it by sounding more certain than I am, as I am no fan of rocketbooming just to sound guru-ish.
3. I require a lot of inspiration. Sometimes the muse wants me to be a blogger, at other times she wants me to be a thinker, at other times a lazy bum. Or so it seems, anyway.
4. I am addicted to brain crack. I know, it’s bad, but we all have our addictions.
5. I stupidly chose a niche that requires a lot of thought, creativity and work (do you know how long it takes to draw find a picture of a Trapezoidal Linking Matriflux? No? Let e tell you, it is several minutes. SEVERAL). Couple that with very, very little reward (except personal which never really floated my boat much) and you have the world’s least active regualrish blog.
6. (Bonus reason) The weather is good ATM. The second winter hits, I bet the number of posts here triples. That would make an interesting study actually, the blog to temperature ratio. I bet warm, tropical paradises have rather low incidents of blogging.
I would tag someone else, but everyone else I know has already been tagged.
