Thanks to Google Reader, I read an unlikely, and perhaps unbvelievable, number of blogs. I read my friends blogs, of course. And those of some friends of friends. I read some blogs written by "virtual" friends. I read mommy blogs, and organization blogs, and lawyer blogs, and working blogs and etecetera.
Some of the bloggers that I read love humor. Or controversy. Or complete sentences, to which I say, blah! If you can't break the rules of the English language on a blog for dramatic effect and emphasis, where can you?
I link my friends and virtual friends - eventually. I'm lazy about it, so it usually takes months and several e-mails from them. I curse those whose blogs cannot be lifted by Google Reader, because I have to actually check their blogs.
I do notice a trend, though. I am less controversial than most of the bloggers I read (except for those who just report on family happenings). That may be hard to imagine, especially if you've read my strong opinions on certain child-rearing/pregnancy subjects, but many blogs try to write strong, one-sided points of views. While I occasionally have and write about such a point of view, it isn't very often. I also write more often than most people I know. Sometimes, I feel like my day isn't complete without a blog entry.
And so it goes. I shall endeavor to write more opinionated stuff, because hey, if I like to read it, I'll probably enjoy writing it. But in the meantime, I'll keep reading other people's good stuff. Loving it...
Etcetera.

My blog must be super boring then! I have yet to write anything controversial!! Hmmm, maybe I need to start thinking about different topics. ;)
I kind of back off from blogging. I don't know what to write and I feel like people don't read it.
