Came across this in a sketchbook from 2007, included here just you you’ll know who’s writing.<\/h6>\n

Okay, so I was thinking about what to do with this blog, as you know. People have suggested things. I have suggested things. My suggestive self has raised ideas to my evaluative self . . . either one calling a meeting at any moment and one of the other goes away victor.<\/p>\n

At one point I even browse the Internet for blog topics. Just on one site alone I find suggestions like:<\/p>\n

Instructional<\/strong> (tips on how to do something)
\nInformational<\/strong> (like, say, the origin of word meanings, or, or, or)
\nReviews<\/strong> (like of products, or books, or restaurants, or religions)
\nLists<\/strong> (fun to write, easy to read . . . as you’re doing right now)
\nInterviews<\/strong> (like between my positive and my negative selves)
\nCase Studies<\/strong> (validations of theories)
\nProfiles<\/strong> (similar to above)
\nLink Posts<\/strong> (gathering interesting posts and sharing)
\n\u201cProblem\u201d Posts<\/strong> (my chance to express my negative reviews)
\nContrasting Two Options<\/strong> (full of \u201con the other hand\u201d)
\nRant<\/strong>\u00a0(easy, when pushing the \u201csend\u201d button prematurely)
\nInspirational<\/strong> (opposite of above)
\nResearch<\/strong> (useful, lots of work, and never ending)
\nCollation Posts<\/strong> (a combination of link posts and research posts)
\nPrediction and Review Posts<\/strong> (too easy to get them both wrong)
\nCritique Posts<\/strong> (not for me . . . in spite of my natural ability here)
\nDebate<\/strong> (me no like argue)
\nHypothetical Posts<\/strong> (I’ve done a few of these, like Letter to Nigeria<\/em><\/a>)
\nSatirical<\/strong> (I like these too, like E-mail\u00a0Disclaimers<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Then there are product oriented and marketing blogs. One might think this should be one of those, being part of an artist’s website. But this artist has many sides, as do, he thinks, his readers.<\/p>\n

I realize I don’t need to settle on one theme. Even Ecclesiastes<\/em>, which in the end I commented on the whole book, didn’t start that way . . . rather just occasional favorite passages.<\/p>\n

The book of Proverbs<\/em> is a tidal flat of gems, just laying on the sand. A little digging around and there’s more yet, ever and always.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the teeming brain, to quote John Keats, who worried that he’d run out of time before his own was probed (and then died at age 26).<\/p>\n

There’s enough for a daily entry, but would be too much for you . . . so I’ll likely stay with the twice weekly (or, as lately, once).<\/p>\n

My purpose? To express, inspire, reflect, encourage, and to relate.<\/p>\n

In a way, you’ve been voting all along by your comments. Still, all feedback is welcome here.<\/p>\n
