Since my muse, who is in charge of all things said on this blog appears to be at a resort somewhere enjoying a massage and some spa treatements, I'm left with no choice but to explore the things that aren't normally said on the blog...
I was reading some of the reveiws of the top 25 blogs in Time magazine. Each of the summaries showed a sample entry topic for that blog and then "the entry you will never see."
For Example, from the blog Zen Habits...
"The blog excels at offering specific strategies to improve and simplify your life (16 Ways to Get Motivated When You're In a Slump, 20 Ways to Eliminate Stress from Your Life, 30 Simple Family Pleasures.) This is the rare blog that can actually improve your everyday life."
Sample Zen Habits post:Here are my simple steps to achieving Email Zen: 1) Don't check email first thing in the morning, or have it constantly on...
Entry you'll never see:Whenever you find yourself feeling a bit down, there's no better pick-me-up than treating yourself to a shopping spree.
All of this got me thinking about what my sample post would be... Let's try this:
"While carrying your Chihuahua on a hike, stop wheezing long enough to point your camera at the nearest peak, try to capture any interesting "light" in the photo that can be remarked upon later as you write your blog while wearing comfortable shoes, craving coffee, dithering about your hair and discussing food. Oh... and breathe!"
And the entry you'll never see...
"Going shoe shopping at the mall is fantasitc... all the exhaust from idling SUVs as I dart across the parking lot, the smokers providing the welcoming puffs in front of the entry way, the scents and perfumes wafting from Nordstroms... Macy's... Body Shop, the young men covered in Battle Axe "maiden bait"... It is a feast for the senses!"
Which made me wonder what y'all would say on your blogs! Or not say! Well...?
