A Strange Situation Arises
It has officially been 20 days since my last post. Twenty days of hanging with visiting friends, getting drunk, masturbating and finally feeling guilty enough to do uni work. So you can clearly see why I haven't been blogging as of late (Har-de-har-har). But seriously though I have been in a bit of a fix of late trying to get my head into blog mode. Blog topics can become hard to come up with at the best of times and a strange situation arises when I'm hanging with visiting friends that makes blogging a bit tricky. You see friends bring with them many humorous adventures, stories and show me interesting things that have slipped under my radar (like the "gay fish" episode of South Park). This would, one would think, provide me with a seemingly large supply of post topics for my blog. But as I so often joke, my friends are pretty much my only readers. So then this situation plays out in my head where I debate with myself the relevance of blogging about shit my friends already know about. David getting naked at Ollie's party? It's a good story but my friends were there. Wolverine without special effects? I watched that with my friends. So as a general rule I avoid post topics that will only retread familiar territory for friends. But then what do I blog about? I haven't been doing anything else? I've been too busy hanging with my friends to find anything else to blog about. What I really need to do is see a significant increase in my popularity outside of my close friends circle. Then I could use some of the adventures I share with my friends as entertaining blog posts and most of my audience will be new to it. Then after that happens I'll be even more popular due to my wit and insight and be crowned King of all Entertainment and I'll have enough money to buy my own country. Gosh! It sounds so easy.

Hmmmm, to me a strange situation arises when I read a blog post that seems to be more of a diary entry than anything else.
Maybe if the Author focused more on who is his audience and what message he would like to get across, he could find something some what more substantial to write.
