What is blog worthy?

Jeff Sheculski thinks that a blog should be used as a personal journal. Daily blog entry’s of random events that could happen to anyone. He said one of my better blogs is when I rode around the bay on my bike. I think it’s only interesting because I brought a camera along and took about 100 pictures. For example, Sam and I went golfing today. Neither of us played that great. No hole in one, no eagle, no birdie, not even a long one putt. Maybe we just sucked, but,

Is it blog worthy?

If I had brought a camera golfing and we snapped a few photos of me looking for my ball in the rough, or taking a drop besides the water, or kicking my ball away from a root, maybe. Photos are good blog fillers and the reader will connect more with what you’re blogging. Did anyone out there think, a picture is worth a thousand words? I should get in the habit of carrying a camera more often. But even so,

Is it really blog worthy?

My thoughts are, if you don’t have anything interesting to add, why bother. Personally, I liked my census 2006 blog. As soon as I read the humour in my smart-ass comment (with the typo) my first thought was to blog it. The other hook is, readers can identify with hearing or seeing www.census2006.ca in the media, and most of you will have already, or will need to complete the census. It is the law!!! I remember saying to Karl, around federal election time, that I was surprised neither Kevin nor Karl entered a new blog about the election. I know your not suppose to talk about religion or politics, but most all of you blog readers voted… I hope. …and could relate with the topic of the day. But the question still is…

Is it blog worthy?

I’m not sure how long I will keep going with this blog. It’s new, I might even get bored with it. If I can keep coming up with interesting things to add (with more photos, I promise next time) I’ll probably keep updating.

However, let me say this to the people who read the blog and don’t leave any comments… ever (you know who you are) I’m going to start talking about you.

Lastly, for Jodi who never reads my blog because it’s not personal enough for her.

Did you know that she buys no-name hair products?

See someone who agrees it should be more personal. Like a journal.

But really Uncle Mike this blog is yours and you should do it like you wanna. I was just commenting on it. No complaints. Nice blog and good entry today :P

My main point was that most of us want to know whats going on in your life. Like the blog still though :P

Just keep posting stuff and no more cut and pasting from internet sites :P

Jeff,

It wasn't so much a copy and paste blog. I did try to provide the background of how it started. The C&P is just a bonus.

Mike

ps - Is it wrong to leave comments on your own blog?

LOL. The cut and paste thing was just a continuation from our conversation we had when you were up here. I loved the jokes to and was just busting your balls. I would like to know more personal stuff though like what internet porn sites you frequent. I mean you talk about them in your blog but never name them. Can I know your password so I can check it out too?

Funny you should say that. I almost did a blog entry on having far to much time on my hands. I still have not figured out if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Whichever, it does give me lots of time to do blog updates. Kevin is in a similar situation. That's why he can do lots of blog entries too. Or should we just get a life? Sorry for grouping you in there with me, Kev
