What should I write about today? Ahh, there's something - the fact that I don't think I can come up with something interesting.
Why? Well, for one thing, I never really can tell what people want to read about from me. I mean, I haven't created any of these journals to be *about* anything in particular. I can't just write about very personal stuff, because that would upset Shandra with her privacy concerns. And second, I definitely can't journal about stuff that goes on at the office, Because let's face it, that can get me FIRED. (Plus, I already know certain office people are, in all likelihood, checking up on me.) Since I'm not a "comment whore" nor a "useless entries junkie", and not a journalist or acknowledged expert on any particular topic, this doesn't leave a whole lot of interesting things to write about that doesn't happen to be already covered someplace else in the blogsphere. (In my opinion, anyhow...)
Granted, some of my reluctance to simply journal my keester off could be due to the fact I'm a bit too bloody humble for my own good sometimes. Or maybe it could be the fact that in my job as a systems administrator/network engineer, I'm often marginalized and thus instintivey am concerned that whatever I do say will get ignored just like the rest of what I do happens to be. It's easier to keep your mouth shut and be uncertain, (to at least have a glimmer of hope!), then to open your mouth and have it confirmed as a fact.
And this is my quandry, what do *I have to say* that anybody would want to hear from me? To be honest, I can't think of a bloody thing sometimes. oh, writers block I can deal with, that's obivious - this entry here is an example of that. But somehow I haven't "clicked" on what you *the audience*, want to read from me. And that, for me, is like blindly pawing through the haystack in search of something, /anything/, but not neccesarily the needle.
Got any input? :)
