I need a brain

I want to get all philosophical on my blog. Ya know, spark interesting, lively debates about current issues and pop culture. I've failed, not that it was my original intent by all means. It just seems like a waste for me to have a blog, and all I get to do is write about stuff. Well, that stuff isn't really interesting. This is what my online diary, my blog, is like. I would love to be one of those people who kept a journal full of their thoughts, and years later, go back and read what they wrote and be completely overwhelmed at the experiences and thoughts they had back then. Well, my diary is completely opposite. It's the typically diary of somebody who had nothing going on in their life, so they write about the usual: what they ate for lunch, what happened in school, or what their homework was for the day.

My blog should be a collection of my thoughts, except I get to share them with people (I hope). But it (my life) hasn't gotten that interesting, so my blog is my diary, but, ya know, the fancier, more technically savvy, but boring and mundane, nonetheless. It's kind sad and pathetic. I've never been that great of a free flowing writer. I've only recently learned about: comma splices and how to fix them; conjuctive adverbs and when to use them; and different sentence structures and how to classify them.

I want to do something with this space I have. I want to be stimulated. I want my mind to wonder and reason about issues. Flop. Nothing. I'm reduced to writing about Janet Jackson and TV show cancellations, not that I don't enjoy those things, but I should aim higher. People or other blogger (is that the term?) have amazing websites where they get into great, in depth discussions on current events. Ideas are exchanged, and relationships are fostered.

Granted, I didn't get into this to break any records, but I see what could be, and I want it. Many people are taking advantage of this outlet, and we are better for it. Although I've put a disclaimer on my blog claiming that there's nothing earth shaking here, it's not enough.

I need to get my brain and my hands working; I hope at the same time and at the same speed.
