Philosophy....

I frequently wish I had things to say here in this blog that were more profound and more meaningful, things that would really pull in the readers.

Sadly, I usually don't.

Maybe it's due to the fact that I don't have any kind of journalism background. I'm not counting my year on the staff of my highschool newspaper, where I could write about such things as aluminum Christmas trees. Maybe it's because I do much of my blogging at work, and don't find the time to wax philosophical very often.

Thus this blog seems to fluctuate between a more-or-less online journal and an insightful sounding board. Sometimes it's kind of a boring place. Other times it seems like it's just another forum for Maryanne and Jenni to share their madness.

At times I'm thankful it hasn't turned into a clone of Amy's blog wherein she usually justs posts the results of whatever latest online survey she took. Other times I'm thankful I can keep up with Luke where he posts about day-to-day things as well as commenting on current events, observations, and so forth. And I can only aspire to post like James Lileks, where in his daily Bleat usually has something interesting to say, often spot on.

Right now, though, I find myself wishing I had an aluminum Christmas tree.
