As the title above stats I am really beginning to think that I might just
possibly suck at this blogging thing. I threw my hat into the blogging arena
about two… or was it three years ago! I was very excited about this new thing I
had heard about (which tells you how far behind the times I am). Finally there
was a vehicle for my witty repertoire and my brilliant ideas... ok maybe not so
much. But after a few years I think I might be a shitty blogger.
My first evidence of this fact is that I haven’t posted in almost two months… I gather that most good bloggers tend to post at least two or three times a week! Hahahahahah! Two to three times a week... are you kidding me?!? I have a hard time remembering to clean out the cat box every other day! I'm exceptionally thankful that I am able to remember to pay my bills on time! I had to actually reset my password for the blog to be able to get in and post this Ok so let’s go with a fail on that one…
Second piece of evidence is that in looking at the blogs I enjoy reading they are all much shorter than my average post… apparently my brain is somewhat stuck in college as my posts tend to really follow a nice essay format (be thankful I no longer write 20 page papers… actually I’m glad about that too!) I always seem to have a lot of words, a lot to cover. I pity my friends who have to listen to me tell stories, I take forever! I also find that sometimes I take forever to get to the point or to illustrate an example. You see I just tend to ramble on and on and on… and the points I make I think are valid but sometimes I could probably say the same thing with less words… so that one is a fail…
Third piece of evidence is that blogs are supposed to be relevant. Every good blog that I read has an author that is well informed on current events. They know about politics, environmentalism, media figures. I’m not going to lie, I suck at this one. I am very informed about what is going on with my friends, my family and my local community… beyond that things get really hazy really fast. Some guy named Obama is the president again, ok cool. Olympics are in Sochi… wait there was Olympics this year?!?! Yep add another fail to the list…
I’m sure there are more we could add to the list; this is just the first three that popped into my little skull. To be honest when I started blogging I had no idea what a blog really was. I just saw a chance to make a fool of myself online and jumped at the opportunity. Now that I am what… two years into it I’m beginning to think I’m not very good at it.. Kinda sucks, and it kinda doesn’t!

If you are (maybe) a shitty blogger, than I am definitely one! I haven't posted in 6 months. I started blogging to join the online pagan community, and then didn't end up doing much with it.
