Bleary-Eyed and Empty-Handed
At almost one in the morning, coming up with nothing to read means I'm wasting my time surfing rather than sleeping. Although we're finally in a space where the baby sleeps well enough that it won't make or break my day to get six rather than eight or nine hours of in-bed time, I'm still going to pay the man in my own guilty little heart. The sitch is thus: I've been clicking from one blog to another, trying to generate possible readership and find something worth reciprocating for. So far, zilch. Every bloody person has a blog, and very little to say. Remind me again why I started this venture a second time?
Oh crud...guess who's waking up.
Amended in the Clear Light of Day...
So this morning, I sit down with my cereal and log on, only to go immediately to two very interesting and readable blogs. Franklin, a guy who knits (YAY!), nearly made me spit my cereal all over my laptop. Ginny is a fellow mom/knitter/creative spirit with some pretty substantial goals. Whew, and I was beginning to worry that intelligent life didn't exist on the Inter-snit.

So true! We have all this fancy technology that lets us communicate with people all over the world, and we find out how little everyone has to say! Ugh... or maybe I'm just not finding it yet. The methods of doing so are becoming more refined... I recently discovered talkdigger.com -- worth checking out. Anyway... good luck with your new... sleeping/baby caretaking situation.

Okay, I've seen too many knitting blogs. Knitting = intelligence????

No, Phil, just a subject I can identify with. What is it YOU look for in a blog?

Yeah... I get it... knitting is cool. I was once a knitter... part of a club actually... but I didn't get very far. I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Hmm... that's a good question! I guess I look for purpose... big stuff... people that write about what gets them up in the morning -- what makes them tick. I look for people who clearly state that they either love or hate life and why.
