What to blog, why to blog, do you care I blog?

I'm sitting here feeling rather frustrated at the world and want to take my mind off of things. I've decided to blog.

But what do I blog about. Nothing... my mind is totally blank. Yesterday I had considered writing a blog about Rolling Stone's Top 100 Beatles Songs of all time. Now that seems empty and lame. Really, they've done it, who cares what I have to say about it. But isn't that the whole point of a blog? Where someone can write anything they're thinking about without cares of whether or not someone agrees, disagrees, will read it or even care?

I then Googled "blog topics". Thank god for Google. I seriously wonder what the world was like before Google. How did people figure stuff out? And don't tell me "the library". If I had to get myself to the library for every time I Googled something, I would never leave the library.

Back to the results of Googling for a blog topic. The most interesting (and likely one of the ones nearest the top of the Google results) was a post from http://chrisbrogan.com titled "100 Blog Topics I Hope YOU Write". Thank goodness!

But it started off with "People often ask me how I come up with things to blog about, and I find the question strange, because my problem is the opposite. I have too much to blog about". And it's so true. SO TRUE! All day, every day, I'm constantly thinking "I should blog about that". My problem.... I ALWAYS FORGET.

Just this morning on my way to work I saw a girl... I think it was a girl... and she was doing... something. And I thought to myself "I should blog about that". But then remembered that I wanted to write my blog about the Beatles songs. And then I wanted to write an obituary blog for the Brass Door. And what was it that she was doing or wearing that I was even going to blog about in the first place? I have no idea. It has slipped my mind.

But what should I blog about? Shouldn't I use my blog to write something significant to the world? Can anyone actually even manage to write something significant to the world anymore? We're overcome with thousands and thousands of images and thoughts and words and opinions all day every day. You turn on your computer and you see the ramblings of your 200+ Facebook "friends", then you see the thoughts of the 400+ people you're "following" on Twitter... then you may actually read the real news. Turn on the TV. Hear what Oprah and the ladies on the View have to say on every topic "relevant" to our current lives. Turn on the radio and you get to hear some idiot say his views on how things should be.

How often are we not even making our own thoughts and decisions up but simply hearing them from other people? Not to mention, what is even releveant in our lives anymore?

I was thinking if I were to blog about the Beatles top 5 songs or the Brass Door (my favourite bar) closing or my cats, for example, is that relevant. To you, maybe not. To me, yes. That is actually the things that are relevant in my life. Last night while I was driving home, listening to the radio play the top 5 Beatles songs, it got me thinking of what my top 5 Beatles songs are. They didn't match, but of course they didn't. Because I looked at them from my point of view - what the songs make me think of, who the songs remind me of, how the songs make me feel. Relevant to me.

............... So I just re-read this blog because really I feel like this has been total ramblings that don't make any sense. When I realized the point of this blog: When I Googled a blog topic, I was actually looking for what I could write that would be meaningful and relevent to the entire world. But that's not what a blog is supposed to be about. A true blog should be your ramblings on the world. After all, aren't my opinions just as important as all the other people's we have to hear every day?
