Life, don’t talk to me about life

Thanks to the use of a top secret gov­ern­ment com­put­er, I’ve man­aged to col­late a large num­ber of unas­so­ci­at­ed triv­ia. Through this I’ve been able to con­firm some­thing I’ve had a feel­ing was true for some time.
One needs to have a life in order to have a weblog.
Actu­al­ly, I’ll revise that.
One needs to have an inter­est­ing life in order to have a weblog.
Still not com­plete­ly true.
One needs to have an inter­est­ing life that they are hap­py to talk about in order to have a weblog.
I’ll leave it as a exer­cise for the read­er to fig­ure out which cri­te­ria it is that I don’t match.

  1. Rub­bish. You just need to have some­thing to say or some­thing to link to.

  2. Many of them don’t even have any­thing to say (cf: mine).
    Also… if you’ve got an inter­est­ing life you prob­a­bly don’t want to write about it on a web log, because you’re far too busy being inter­est­ing.
    Also… some­thing.

  4. I think your both right, but still, it is nec­es­sary to inter­act to spark ideas. Sit­ting at home all day play­ing Spy­ro the Dar­gon ain’t worth talk­ing about, nor does it stim­u­late oth­er ideas (some wierd dreams per­haps, but no ideas).

  5. So inter­act, dammit.
    I’ve accused myself of hav­ing the most bor­ing web log in the world because all I write about is me and mine buy­ing chairs. That claim was rebuffed. Which was nice, but ulti­mate­ly irrel­e­vant.
    So steal ideas. Even if it’s just anno­tat­ing junk mail, or post­ing scans of gro­cery receipts, or some­thing. Find some­thing to link to, link to it, and say why you’re link­ing to it. If you’ve got an ingrow­ing toe­nail, write a poem to it. Or some­thing.
    Is Spy­ro the Dar­gon any good? I know noth­ing about it at all.
