Your life is probably
not as boring as you think. Start looking for those stories. Like those kids, you could probably write a book about the little inspirations you could find there. It doesn't have to be true, make it up. I love going to the mall and watching the people, and making up stories about them. If your life is boring then make it exciting. Create an alternate world where you are some kind of secret being. It's all in attitude and imagination.

Okay...to clarify...I was being a bit sarcastic there. I like the details
of my life.  I was reacting to a post written here earlier- not by me! Thansk for all of the kind words!

So what is wrong with writing about your life?
It might not be drivel to anyone but you

what's the word I'm looking for...
Dispondent. You seem dispondent about your addiction, and the minutiae of your life. That's a drag. Might I offer a suggestion?

Since you are addicted to blogging the 'boring details', why not relish them? Practice writing an interesting, very short story about one boring detail - it could be fun, and you could be defiant, as you polish these lumps of black coal into sparkling diamonds.

Give it a shot! I challange you to blog tomorrow, about one boring detail - see how many interesting, fun, mental associations rise from it, as well as interesting and fun things it links up to in your real life.

I double dog dare ya!

I would call it concrete detail, not trivia.

Original Influence,
What are "weho"?   Hey, don't knock trivia, it's what makes up a life.
