Is this boring or what?

This blog, boring or what? Today especially. So here I am again, writing something no one really cares about. Not even me would read it. Or maybe it’s just me being lazy today. I shouldn’t really mind if this blog won’t get lot of comments or a lot of traffic. But somehow looking at the stats of this blog makes me wonder what should I write about so people will notice it. I know I shouldn’t look at the stats that closely but that’s what motivates me. I don’t keep up the blog only for me. If it was, I would keep it private.

I  read an article about bloggers getting paid for their writing. I think those people who wants to make it as a living, seems to want their 15 minutes of fame as well. Not everyone wants to make a business out of it, including me. Most people keep up a blog as a hobby. All I care about is people reading and liking what I write. And occasional comments/feedback.

Back to the stats. The most popular post so far seemed to be the one about Benedict Cumberbatch (damn what a difficult last name to spell but I can finally do it :D) when he paid a visit to Finland. If that’s gonna be the most popular subject then I should change the blog’s name to “Hell with everything else, time for your daily Benedict Cumberbatch fix” Speaking of which, he will be a presenter at the Oscars on Sunday. I’m sure that one will appear on Youtube one day. I hope since I won’t be watching the awards. It’s just takes too long.

So what do people really want to read about on this blog. If I asked, would anyway post a reply? Or just shrug and move on? I could ask questions all day and still no one would have anything to say. How many actually visit frontpages on blogs? Is the poll on my blog too boring? Isn’t it obvious that people find my blog on WordPress? So many questions but so little time.

Why is it so hard?

Blogging everyday. I never had any real goals before and this blog is one example why. I just get bored easily. The thought I have to post everyday feels difficult. I thought I could do it but it seems I can’t. I tried but things just doesn’t come out. My head is empty. My goal was to post everyday but that’s not me.

You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

I would say it a little differently “I don’t write because I have to, I write because I have something to say” And if I don’t have anything say, why bother posting. I could always write nonsense but who wants to read that. Really.

I’ll go back to the shadows now. I come back when I have something “important” to say.

I woke up

When other people have lunch, I wake up. That’s an achievement. Being unemployed has it’s advantages. Go to bed late and wake up late. You do what you want. Going out for a walk, go to the store, clean or just be.
But there’s also a disadvantages. You don’t earn your own money. You don’t meet other people. You feel like your life is going nowhere. Some take it harder then others.

Some people without jobs, stay inside all day or maybe sleep all day. That’s something I don’t understand. Everyday I see outside of my window, someone still awake. No matter how late it is, the light is on. Maybe someone who doesn’t have a job lives there. Who else would stay up that late.

What I learned from my mum was, if you wake up early, you get more things done. That’s what I’ve noticed myself too. Being unemployed doesn’t mean you have to be without doing nothing.
