Typing the word 'blog' gets harder each time I do it.

It's simply too time consuming to keep up a blog.

I don't know if it is just too boring to write about what happens on a daily basis or if the redundancy in writing about that stuff seems stupid. It seems to me that the most successful sites, at least recently, are those that do not focus on their author's own life.

Oh well, bored already. . .
