I could do as my partner does I suppose and pick topical things going on in the world, but more often than not I don&#8217;t really have an opinion on things and if I did, why would I think my opinion is so important that I should write about it in my blog? It may be narcissistic, but I think blogs are about yourself, right? Then again, if that were true, there would be <em>MANY<\/em> boring blogs out there&#8230;and let&#8217;s face it guys, there <em>ARE<\/em> plenty of boring blogs around, you&#8217;re reading one now (if you lasted this long).<\/p>\n<p>One last factor is that I&#8217;ve got to blog when the mood takes me, but I need a quiet place, void of distractions in which I can think of what I want to write. My partner can write blog posts while there is a TV and radio on, while I&#8217;m talking and that cat&#8217;s meowing. I just can&#8217;t do it in all that distraction. I&#8217;m only being able to successfully complete this post because my partner&#8217;s out, and the cat&#8217;s asleep on the lounge and I have NO electronic equipment on to distract me. It&#8217;s the same when I read.<\/p>\n<p>So, given the distractions and lack of topics, I&#8217;m surprised I blog at all. I dearly wish I could blog more though &#8211; even if it WAS just about birds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live with a partner who is a voracious blogger, which is slightly intimidating as I also like to do my blogging, but more often than not, as you can see by the content, I am by no means voracious myself.
