Blogging is only exciting to me when I write something that helps me crystallize some feeling or bring some order to the (seemingly) random series of thoughts that are subconsciously informing how I make daily decisions. It's a way of clarifying my thinking while also giving a snapshot of what I'm struggling with on any given day.

I don't like blog entries like the one I wrote last night, in which I take some meaningful moment and try to recreate it because it seems like it's worthy of a blog entry. It's just boring and it sounds pat and stale.

I enjoyed reading last night's post. I didn't find it pat and stale, at all.

I'm still not watching the Dolly Parton videos, though. ;)
