As an official 'communicator' (I have the degree and diploma to prove it), I realize that weblife is an important factor. Before graduation, I simply did not have the time to commit to the upkeep of my normal life, let alone my online life. But now that I am a graduate, I have all this weird 'free time' on my hands. It's a strange, new wonderful feeling. So, I decided to devote my time to something more productive than watching episode after episode of It's Always Sunny and HIMYM online.
That, and I finally got my own brand spankin new Macbook and I feel compelled to be on it ALL.THE.TIME.
So, I shall try this 'blog' thing you net-savvy communicators speak of. My query, however, is what to blog about? Even when I was assigned to maintain a blog about advertising, I couldn't. Not that I don't love advertising, it's just that I love it on another level...not the blogging level. Make sense? I didn't think so. But I get it, so don't worry.
So, still, what to blog about?
I love many a subject. But do I love any subject enough to write new, interesting and funny things about it on an almost daily basis? That's a lot of commitment....I don't do so well with the 'C' word nowadays. So, this could be a troubling factor.
Maybe I just need to create a blog about a different subject every day. Will it have avid followers? Probably not. Will it have a primary audience? The entire idea screams 'not a chance.' Will it keep ME entertained? Probably.
Maybe my solution is something along the lines of speed dating. I will try a new blog subject (the 'date') every entry (the 'speed') until I find The One. You know, the one that I find myself thinking about all the time, that just pops into my head, the one I can't wait to be with....you know, the blog subject that will fulfill my every need the way Prince Charming satisfies the normal speed daters'. So, I begin my blog speed dating quest.
This analogy brought to you by the minds at Lisa Rowson Inc.
(Or maybe start a blog about analogies - my favourite! And, that way, I can talk about anything as long as it's an analogy) I just had an epiphany. You are watching an idea in the making.
This blog post was going to be about finding a new blog subject, using speed dating as an analogy.
Then, I realized I should write about analogies.
THEN, I realized my blog post about finding a blog post answered my question about what to post on my blog. The answer is the question; the question is the answer.
How postmodern.
