AH...I wish I had some kind of overwhelming passion to write about something today that would somehow compel some people to go on a commenting frenzy and create heated debate that would become a melee of ideas and thoughts fighting to be heard yet in one of the most beautiful and peaceful ways that can sometimes only be accomplished through words shared in blogging forums.
I don't know why I can't write about religion, evolution, abortion, Obama, Mumbai, Islamabad...I wanted to write about Greece and the riots that were spurred by the death of a 13 year old kid by the police or so that is what I glanced over in the past few days in the many headlines that occupy the front page of MSNBC. I hoped that I would be able to explain myself and defend my right to vote for Obama and how I think that he is the ultimate anti-Bush in ALMOST every single way but I don't want to get into it.
It is just that I feel empty currently, right at this moment.
I am not heartless, currently my heart is beating quite fast because I am waiting on someone or anyone to comment on the notes I have posted on my facebook but everyone is busy with finals, their life and the season and I am impatient but trying not to be overbearing. I wrote my heart's concerns and then realized it was not the best place to put it and share it. But then I never used facebook as a popularity contest and every person I added to the list is someone I know and have come in contact with in my life so far and so the grand total is 120 for me.
I am listening to music, I will write the lyrics my fingers can capture for you because I can not match these words that he sung and neither can I aim to because I am me and I will be me and he is not me but he is part of me and I am part of his world and his words. This is a shout out to blackout...or rather his blog.
Victory one,
In a world...too young for the marches but I remember the drums
that start reality, wars and battles that we fought in ghetto tragedy
the importance of family
hand me a joint...
i am more like a fool for soul and passion
i watched crash and realized
forever begins just because I thought about it
livin and then you go, then you go're gone
ashes and snow fall, wonder when the roll call gon come
on tree by jury together we hung
at each other we aim pain
I shoot for stars, peace and exclusive cars
watch gangesters turn god in the mist of war
livin' then you go,
then you're gone
ohhh, ohhh, livin'.... then you go
you're gone, you're gooone
then you're gone
.............
origin is forever
look at that ....I don't need no cue cards..
just talk, don't sing
you and I have been here forever
behind them red eyes
my world's tears
yeah origin is forever
every peak will have two valleys
forever is to stride pace of endearment
forever is what i leave, my I-self contribution
what I'm gon' leave?
I leave my one and only grain of spirirutal sand for humanity
all of humanity
hurricans following the trails of african slaveships
war war and more war
earthquakes,,
whenever somebody done me wrong
vtech is not a oh what the heck
place your one grain of spiritual sand
blend and stir
stir and blend
accept the ingredients of acknolwegement
apology
amendment
atonement
work with the four A's
common good is forever
You have an intresting prespective. You should go back and read what you wrote, it is very good. If you want to write about the things you mentioned you need to find some sort of passion in the subjects. With the passion comes emtion and great thoughts. Question everything, wonder about specifics, and then let your thoughts flow into words as you write.
In the past, last year, I did not have to try this hard. I seriously just opened up the post a blog entry and started writing. You can see, I have about 7-8 pages from last year.
Now, I can't do that because I can't bring myself to really care to argue and to preach and debate and discuss with people on certain things. I know I can write about abortion, evolution, religion (especially Islam) and also about politics. I just don't want to, I have the knowledge. I don't know what to say that would really convince minds, change their current stream and line of thought and shatter old prejudices.
I am setting the standard too high but I expect this from me or rather this is my aim. I quite thank you for the complement it made me sort of smile ;;)

I think we all know the feeling. I write blogs that are very important to me and I feel passionate about them, but too few people comment on them, at least for my taste. For the entire first half of the competition I could not summon up enough passion to publish a good blog.
My advice: Choose a subject that you feel is important, and affects you or your peers, and just start writing. You can go back and edit it later today, or over the next few days. As you write blogs, you will feel more inpired.
Like what you've read? Well, then here's more:

that will get people to comment...I think it must have been Nicholas who told me that if you want people to comment, write about religion, abortion and evolution. And a little about politics. College life blogs are good too.
