Nothing to Say

Here I am with an online journal (sort of...) and I'm facing the thing that worried me most about having one. I have nothing to say. I mean, I could give you boring, mundane, and minute details of my daily life but you don't really want that. You're already living through your own boring and mundane lives. How could reading about someone else's rut help?

No, I would like to put out a quality product. I want to relate interesting events. I want to pass along valuable insights and opinions that will make you guys think. Although, to be honest, I don't know if you are really out there. I may just be writing this for myself. Which is ok, but then why would I want to rehash the everyday events? Didn't I just live through them?

But here's the problem. Do I have enough interesting events and valuable insights to be able to update on a fairly consistant basis? Duh... I dunno. I guess we'll see. Some times I feel guilty for not having updated, but where is the enjoyment out of forcing yourself to sit down and pump out paragraphs that you don't really have any interest in? Because that's all this is for; enjoyment. I know there are people who have to regularly sit themselves down and force out pages before a deadline. They're called writers (and to a lesser degree, students). My decision to write is entirely my own and the deadlines imposed are set by me.

So the question remains: do I have anything to say?
