Blog Hopping

I think I am endanger of trying to follow too many blogs at once, if that is possible. Every blog I go to seems to lead me to another and then another... while I don't click to follow everyone I seem to add one or two new blogs to follow each day.

I hope I don't get to the point that I have more to read than time to write...

Focus

I have been reading the blogs I follow and some new ones over the past few days, but not posting anything myself. The reason is focus. I have been suffering from insomnia for a little over a month now and have had difficulty focusing my thoughts. When I find a topic I want to share, and try a to develop it in my head, I find it going off in unusual and undesired directions. In the end I scrap the idea or file it away in that part of my mind that will forget it is there till some external sight, sound, smell or experience pulls it back front and center.

One thing I am trying to avoid is brooding over my social life. But my mind almost always wanders back to it no matter what subject I want to start. I will get around this either with some sleep, which I know will come eventually, or with a topic that overpowers my self-absorbed need to gripe and moan about my single man's mid-life crises (actually, I am trying to come up with a thought provoking and hopefully humorous blog about that...)

So, for now, I must leave you with this - Thank you for reading my posts and for your comments. I hope to have better material for you soon!

A New Addiction

For years I have read and heard news reports about blogging. I've even noticed that Google's news page contained many blog posts to relate news stories, but I stayed clear. If a news story was a blog, I was less likely to give it credit as a news story and more likely to assume it was an expression of a persons point of view on a real story. I can't say that my opinion of news blogs has changed but my opinion of blogging in general has.

Blogs have become a new addiction for me. I think about things I want to say and can't wait to see what others have posted. I follow links from one profile to another looking for new and interesting s bloggers to follow. I spend almost as much time here on Blogger as any other site (except Facebook - but that is another story). I love to read what others have to say. I have started following several bloggers after reading only one post. And while there have been some that I have seemed to lose interest in, I haven't stopped following them - hoping that they will post something that will draw me back to them.
