Day 2 : Already Nothing To Write About

So I'm sitting here, staring at a blank box in which to pour my opinions on the big topics, and I realize, I've got nothing to say.

No idea what to write about. Might make me sound a little shallow, but it's true. I cannot come up with anything particularly inventive, or interesting to read. I don't know enough about current events to post a properly based opinion on one. No one wants to hear me whine about my life, or hear anything else about my pets. In short, I've got nothing.

So off to google I waddle, and search in plain terms - "I need a topic." I get a bunch of junk, one site that's a PAY service for people writing blogs(seriously, they wanted a dollar a day to give me topic ideas!), a bunch of topics suitable for school kids that aren't applicable to a 28 year old unemployed user. I channel surfed, hoping to find something there, went on facebook, even resorted to asking people on msn. I came up with nothing.

Isn't it funny how easy it is to talk with a person, to come up with topics there, but when faced with writing a blog, be unable to find even the smallest bit of inspiration? Maybe it's because I know what my friends want to talk about, I know how to carry on a conversation, it's easy to feed on other people. When it comes to blogging, you want to find a topic people are going to find interesting, that they're going to want to read, rather than taking a glance and wandering away. My tastes are so eclectic, and I have no real topic for this blog, so that it makes it nearly impossible to write, especially with any regularity.

So I fall back and think of the blogs I like to read. Maybe I can rip one of those off, steal their ideas and get me some readers that way...

Fugly Horse Of The Day - a snarky review of horses and the horse world. I don't know enough about horses to straight up steal their idea, I hated what the blog eventually became, got bored with the 2nd replacement writer, and am actually kind of enjoying the newest writers. I can't be as snarky as they are, while I can be a total bitch, I just don't have it in me to ream specific people out. I also don't have the connections to make it truly interesting.

Hyperbole and a Half - I've talked about this blog before... It's just simply hilarious. I can't really put a finger on what her topic is, but she writes some of the funniest shit I've read in a long time. I'm not funny enough to try and steal her readers, though I am anxiously awaiting a new post, and the publishing of her book. I advise reading it.

Venom, Secrets & Lies - Another great, funny blog. It's already been established that I am neither funny enough, nor exciting enough to pull this blog style off. I envy people who can just write funny crap, and have everyone love it.

Regretsy - This one makes fun of bad crafts, bad ebay listings, and people who get offended by their postings. I quite enjoy reading it, but don't like how snarky the comments can get. There are parts I like and dislike about this, but again, I am unable to be bitchy enough to pull a blog like this off.

There's a few other smaller blogs that I read, but none that I'd really recommend. The rest are either very specific audiences, or not all that interesting but I feel the need to keep reading in hopes it gets better.

Anyway, there's my topic on not having a topic. I'll have to think of something, come up with a topic for the blog, or some form of posting schedule. I've gotta get things sorted if I intend to continue writing.
