Topics to Blog About!

Every once in awhile someone will write a blog about the fact they have nothing to blog about or it was a slow day or nothing happened.

I don't seem to have that problem. As sopme of you know I am a list maker and one of those lists are '10 topics to blog about'--granted a few items have been on that list for 2 or more years but they are there 'just in case'--I've always wanted to write about gay bars and restaurants in the 50s and 60s compared to today. I have alluded to my work as a 'buddy' to teenagers who are HIV+ or have AIDS for the past 20+ years but have never written about it.

Of course I always have my birds to write about--they never fail to 'pull something' everyday--for instance the tiels love to sneak in the cupboard and shred the rolls of paper towels so that when I take one out, like todays, i wind up having blizzard of shredded paper fly all over yet they won't touch it once I put it on the tack.



And then there are blogs like 'ocean' the past few days that just blow me away--I know they don't see it as such but the sacrifices, the love, the caring they show and have shown to their 3 children make them remarkable people. I hope she does get into the court battle they had regarding her son.

And I love reading about YOU remarkable people who don't think you are--the teachers, the judges, the librarians, the stay at home moms and/or dads.

Okay, so Elfie gets frustrated at work and blows her cool--she then has us laughing in stitches about the whole day--and what about Bugg's campaign and outspokenness?? A joy to read--and, admit it, you love reading about the sex worker's experiences.

I don't write any--or at least very few--political blogs but between James and Vladimir I have gotten turned on to politics--almost, not quite, as much as sex--and have learned a lot.

Okay, here are a few topics to write about when you hit a dry spell:

Though we all know you and your mate are perfect what 5 things does he/she do that annoys the hell out of you?

What 5 things would you like to change about yourself? (Okay, if you are like me there may be only one thing--being perfect--but you can write about that.)

What is Mother Nature like around your place? We live all over the place and she is so different in all these places--I never get tired of reading about Peter/Clovis's backyard.

What did you do today?? Nothing? Then how did you do nothing?

Another thing we forget is that new people are reading about us all the time--you may have told us about your background, your life, your struggles, your joys, etc., but they don't know, haven't heard it before, so repeating a blog from the past is a good thing

Need more topics to blog about?? I have a dozen of them--just ask!!

The paper towel roll looks familiar -- do you use Bounty? My Mom's cat will take small bites out of our paper towel rolls. She seems to like the taste of paper. I really liked the suggestions for post topics. Thanks!

Great post, Martin! I too never seem to be a loss for blogging topics.
The episodes with your tiels and the paper towels remind me of my cat Smokey and rolls of toilet paper.
It doesn't happen very often, but occasionally, Smokey does something for which she needs to be reprimanded. When I do so, it invariably happens that the next time I walk into the bathroom, I find the toilet paper hanger empty, and the whole roll of toilet paper shredded and strewn about the bathroom floor! Why, that vindictive little....!!!

You are a MyBloggerstown treasure, my friend.

I thought the photo was your shreaded bedspread (try saying that 5 times fast).

I was just thinking today, they are probably people who do not know the background story of my life and I should write about that. martin, your blog is always interesting.

"Though we all know you and your mate are perfect what 5 things does he/she do that annoys the hell out of you?" ... And, what would you do with a dead greaser?
