My "Feelings" about blogging

This blog is going to be another vent session.  Of course I find myself at a loss of things to talk about, and once again frustrated.  I am going to take this time to discuss my feelings about blogging and why I do not like it.

This is no attack to anyone; blogging is just not for me.  I never had a diary, kept a journal, and to be honest expressed many of my feelings.  Coming up with something to talk about every week has been beyond frustrating.  On top of all of the other things I have going on between school, soccer, and two jobs I find this a little inconvenient. 

I understand the part of making us continually write and practice practice practice.  I can understand that point.  Maybe I should have taken English in class, I am sure it is hard to come up with online assignments to do for English.  I am just not a fan of this assignment.  But I meet the requirements and do it every week with a smile on my face. 

Every time I am writing a blog about what is going on in my life or my “feelings” all I can think about are the million other productive things I could be doing besides complaining.  I hate complaining and believe me or not have never been pinned as one to complain.  This blog has really brought my complaining and negative side out.  Not a good attribute to have, so I do not blame you if you skip ove my blog every time.  I would too.

On a more positive note, I have received a benefit from blogging.  I do not fully mind the blogs where we have to find something going on in the world or locally and write about that.  It forces me to take time out of my day and catch up with what is going on in the world.  Not only do I catch up I actually learn more in-depth details about important events taking place.  It has given me topic of conversations to have outside of this blog and for that I am happy.

I do not fully mind having to comment on other people’s blogs.  Although most of my responses are short and bland I do read them.  I understand it makes us bloggers feel that people are actually reading our blogs and it is making us read other peoples thoughts and interests. 

So maybe, in my ideal blogging world I would just have to write one blog a week about something going on in the world.  I can do that.  That would not seem so unproductive or a waste of time by any means.  I would stay caught up in the world, have topics of conversation, and practice my writing skills.  I would also only have to comment on blogs about events occurring in the world.  This would help me not only learn about my topic but also other people’s topics that they chose without having to do a ton of research.
