On a whim, I took a trip around the blogosphere reading posts from random authors I do not know. I would click on the links on the side of the posts on various blog sites to see what my blogging peers are posting. What I discovered is pretty interesting.
Disclaimer – this, in no way, is a scientific study of blogs; just a perception from random blog sampling.
What is most apparent as I read blogs is that most people post
- What makes them angry
- What separates them from others
- What they are against
Really?!? Are people that angry? Is the blogosphere primarily a place where people feel free to spew venomous rantings and then berate those who dare question them? It is also apparent that the angrier you rant, the more people respond.
These are my questions:
- What are you for?
- What makes you really happy?
- Is there anything that excites you about the rest of your life?
As for my answers, that will wait until the next blog post. Please share your stories. I'm sure they will benefit blogosphere readers.

What a great post, Paul - I blogged politics for several years when we lived in Washington DC, and talk about a topic that can make you angry! I'm getting ready to re-launch my blog as an ongoing discussion of faith and the spiritual journey precisely because I want to focus on the positive.
My answers:
I am for God - what can I do today to respond to his call in my life?
I can't answer the second question succinctly. There's a lot - but for starters: my husband, singing, creative expression of all sorts, natural beauty, great food, time with friends.
My whole life excites me!
I blog my feelings sometimes happy,sad angry,confused, I think mine is private so I use it is a journal that I can talk without saying things I would regret later. Patty
