[Editor's Note:  This is but the first in what will apparently be a plethora of guest posts on this here weblog.  Today's guest is Polysyllabic Profundities (WP just tried to correct that to profanities.  It knows you so well).  If you just successfully pronounced that without your tongue ending up in a fucking knot, then you are a cunning linguist *insert juvenile chuckle here*.  Please remember to check out her Unshitty™ blog once you've finished reading here.   You won't be sorry you did.]

I’d never thought of doing a guest post before, but Stuphblog has made the idea thrive in the forefront of my convoluted brain.  Ah, the power of the armor!

Daily Prompt: Hobson’s Choice

If you had to choose between being able to write a blog (but not read others’) and being able to read others’ blogs (but not write your own), which would you pick? Why?

This should probably be a tough decision, but it’s really not.  I love writing my blog and if I had to choose, this is what I would pick.  I, for some reason, developed this weird creative outlet in the last couple of years and if I didn’t have a place to let it all out I might go insane.  Well, even more insane than I already am.  I love putting my stuph out there and seeing the feedback I get and the responses it evokes.  I love the interaction I have with the people who read my writing and, as stupid as it sounds, I like seeing the “likes” pile up.  If and when they actually pile up.

So if it came down to it, I would miss all of the really great blogs I follow, but there are other things to read.  Books, newspapers, comics, etc.  But I would really miss my blogs.

Hmmm…..short post today.  I’ll have to come up with something later.  If I have time.

Fuck!  Why am I not pissed off?!?! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m now taking anti-depressant medication.  Since I’ve started it I’ve noticed that I am not as angry a person as I used to be, which is good for me.  However, it’s bad for my blog.  My rants, which I think were some of my greatest posts, are hard to come by because hardly anything gets me worked up any more.

Even with all the stupid shit going on with the election, Bengazi, and the CIA director resigning because of an affair (who cares?) the anger which would have led to ranting blog posts on those subjects is no longer there.  Because of that, I’m having a hard time finding things to write about.

Maybe I just need to get back into the writing practice, or maybe apathy (indifference?) is just something I’ll have to live with.  Either way, I’m not really complaining.  Just saying.  I’m not really all that angry any more and it really doesn’t bother me.

I’ll try to get my creative juices flowing again to get some fictional and humor writing going, but my rants might be a thing of the past.

Oh well.  Gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.
