Keeping my Sanity

The Blog

I was wondering why I struggle to keep this blog, I love writing and can sit and pen a thousand words, enjoying writing every one of them.  When it comes to the blog I stare at a blank screen and can't think of a single thing to say.  I always think to myself, OK write something witty, be funny.  I am just not funny so already I am going against my own grain.  I realised this morning I just don't get blogs, why oh why do I want to put up personal details on the web for everyone to see.  You read some of the stuff on these blog sites and people are moaning about their job, their boss (who they name), they talk about their families, their boy/girlfriends and you just know at some point it will come back to bite you in the arse.  I mean it is just venting and everyone has the right to vent and afterwards you probably realise that you don't even mean half the things you wrote, but once it's out there for the whole wide to see it becomes something bigger and less forgiveable.  There are some blogs that are witty, people speaking their opinions about the latest craze etc, my favourite recently was the blogs about alli the new slimming pill in the UK.  I'll let you google it as peoples interpretations had me in fits of laughter.  I guess I am uncomfortable writing a blog, I saw it as writing for someone else, completely hung up on the fact that people will read it.  I had this whole 'thing' in my head about a blog and what it should be and I am just not like 'that'.  I think my blogging days are over, well they never really started, I just don't get 'the blog'.
