As I discover more and more about this blog stuff, I realize that to have a wider audience, I need a hook. Like this guy has with his blog, The Sneeze. I only read his posts about weird food, but he had me laughing out loud more than once.
On the other hand, do I really want more people reading my blog? Honestly? I already am careful about certain things I write; I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or give anyone's secrets away. I also don't write about topics that would make my friends uncomfortable. I might someday, but not now.
I have to keep in mind that there's always a chance a student or a parent of a student of mine could happen upon my little bit of blog land. Can't be too up front about a little stinker in my class, or write who at work I think is an asshole. Could catch up with me.
So, how do I keep coming up with topics?
If you know me, you know I can talk to the wall. My friend in New York has said I'm like a monkey with a typewriter; "with enough time, something profound comes out of you. At least once an hour." And that's it. That is the name of this thing, after all. It's what I do.
I'm not being very direct here, am I? Sorry. I'm tired, and I need a nap now.

Hiya,
I know I find it hard to find things to blog about, I was having a blue mood of a day at the weekend and felt like ditching this blog lark. Then I thought i'm taking things too seriously here and sometimes actually find it fun, so here I am still in the blogsphere nosing around. Got to you through Juniper, both of you have interesting blogs, so keep it up.
