Monday, Monday, Where are my Readers?

Well, here we are back to Monday and another post.

I've got to tell you all though, I am very depressed.

I have been writing this silly blog since May of 06 and I don't have that huge following I expected.

That in turn leads me to believe that my subject matter is boring.

I thought about writing about politics but figured if I did then the next thing that would happen is people would want me to run for office.

Then, of course, if I won (scratch that) when I won I would have to move to Washington, DC, which I would not like.

So here I am trying to figure out what people want. Some of the choices I have considered to write about are:

Lust (excessive sexual appetites) - Lust is usually thought of as involving obsessive or excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature.

Gluttony (over-indulgence) - Gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.

Greed (avarice) - Greed is, like Lust and Gluttony, a sin of excess.

Sloth (idleness) - Sloth represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts. One who does not work beyond what is required.

Wrath (anger) - Wrath is described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger.

Envy (jealousy) - Envy is to desire something that someone else has which they perceive themselves as lacking.

Pride (vanity) - Pride is a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them, and excessive love of self.

After careful consideration, I realized if I write about all of those items I will be writing about politicians, so that idea is no good.

So I went to plan B and thought I should write about:

Chastity (purity of soul) - Courage and boldness. Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of thought through education and betterment.

Temperance (self-restraint) - Constant mindfulness of others and one's surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation.

Charity (giving) - Willingness to give. A nobility of thought or actions.

Diligence (zeal/initiative) - A zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work. Decisive work ethic. Budgeting one's time; monitoring one's own activities to guard against laziness.

Forgiveness (composure) - Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. The ability to forgive.

Kindness (admiration) - Compassion, friendship, and sympathy without prejudice and for its own sake.

Humility (modesty) - Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self.


After careful consideration, I realized if I write about all of those items I will be writing about me and I have too much humility for that so that idea is no good.

That is where I am at, still trying to figure out what my readers want.

If you have any ideas feel free to let me know.

Until I figure that out remember this:

Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.
