It hasn't been my intention to let the update rate here slow to a grinding halt. I've never been the kind to post several times a day, or even every day, but this is a new low, even for me. The truth of the matter is that I'm bored. Bored out of my skull.
Most of the blogosphere seems to have been focusing on Dan Rather being a bonehead, then Dan Rather realizing, way later than everybody else did, that he was wrong, but is still yet to realize that he was a bonehead about it, which kind of still makes him a bonehead.
That, and, I guess, Bush's fuck-ups, Kerry's flip-flops, both their service records, or lack thereof; just reading the headlines of this stuff makes my brain want to shrivel up and hide in a corner. Does it tire me, or are my eyes trying to escape the dread of having to endure reading about it?
Apparently, I'm not the only understimulated blogger right now. How else could you possibly explain the unproportionally large amount of words being typed regarding the definition of "moblogging"?

I think I've catched the same bug that you have, since boredom (and other reasons) have caused me to shy from the whole internet-thingy. I'm trying to write in my blog, but can't seem to bring myself to it. Is this a general disease, or just something that the two of us have? =)

I'm feeling the same thing, even though I haven't set up my own weblog yet. Bored writers make bored readers, as they say. Or at least I do.

The reason I read specific sites is for the individuality and unique aspects of those sites. I don't read media oriented blogs because its just another regurgitation of the same information, only with a 'personal' take on it rather than a 'network' take. I'd be more interested in personal projects or questions you ask yourself rather than media-centric themes or hypotheticals. I can understand the 'boredom' in seemingly writing for no-one, or any-one...

Boredom is a nefarious thing that leads us to forget about the potential in the moment. I have spent great parts of my life being bored, but am now starting to understand that the meaning that is important gets made when you make it.
