Blogging Is Hard Redux.

The thing about blogging is, (at least for me) that I need a solid topic that actually interests me. Most of these topics hit me during the course of the day. Either from media, friends and family or (and most commonly) from my being genuinely upset about something. I don't blog personal stuff, so any life drama that may occur is not up for public consumption. But I thought, maybe I'll do a blog on the blogs that didn't make the cut. So here now, snippets of blog topics that were not up to par.

Gum v. Mints. I don't get gum. Its sticky. It loses flavor and becomes some weird gooey thing that sits in your mouth for far too long. It shows up in pictures when you smile. It has never been a successful part of any spoken communication. It itself causes people to abandon all chewing etiquette (which, if I may say, few people actually have). Eat a mint. Please.

My Beard. First off, its not a beard. But I decided against the first words of this paragraph being: "The Hair Growing Out Of My Face". For anyone who has, or will, see this, I know. I know what it looks like. If I am anything, I am self-aware (to a fault). My intentions are not to look good (as if) or bad. They are merely to see what happens. I'm considering putting a soft cap of January 1st, just to see what another month will do. It has not been easy. Its red, black, blonde and brown (I just realized while typing that, that my facial hair is a calico cat). Its not flattering, but incredibly interesting (at least to me, not so much for an entire blog).

Trout Clubbing. Sarah Palin did something I'm okay with. She beat a trout to death with a club then put it on national television. I get the hypocrisy. I won't shoot a dear but I'll club a trout? Yes. Fish are ugly. Deer are furry, like cats and dogs. To me, fish just seem like mindless floating... things. Even some "vegetarians" will eat fish. Not that I want to use them as my animal morality gauge. I'm just saying, she isn't all terrible.

Coffee Cool. I don't like coffee. I do like people thinking I'm drinking coffee, like an adult, with so much to do that I have to stay awake. I hold coffee cups with lids that have hot chocolate in them to look cool. I'm a total fraud. Whoever made liquid, warm chocolate should win some sort of medal. I'm going to start a chocolate awards ceremony. Rachel McAdams can host. Just chocolate and Rachel everywhere. If there's a whole Food Network, surely I could get people to watch that once a year.

See. There's a reason these things never get written. Maybe someone will try to build a mosque in the United States again sometime soon, then I'll have something to write about.
