I’ve been blogging for over a year now and while doing it found a steady group of blogging friends (look to the right under “Super Blog Friends” - let me know if I should add you too.)
Anyway - I’ve noticed that every once in awhile bloggers get tired, bored, annoyed with blogging for whatever reason. Sometimes it intrudes with their life (or vice versa), sometimes you get bored, whatever. I noticed the trend about two weeks ago when suze decided to take a little vacation (a blogation?) that she wasn’t the first. So it was good timing when I found the following funny public service announcement about blog depression.
Hopefully this helps (or makes you laugh)
Sphere: Related ContentOstensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

I’ve noticed it a lot, too. It’s up to about 6 people that I read have just decided they’ve had enough for a while. It’s interesting.

That was beautiful. Love the 1970s 9th grade health class brochure feel. :-)
I’ve taken blog vacations a few times. Once, I took one that lasted over a year…

I’m ready to vacate the blogging too — or switch to a topic that requires less thought — something along the lines of a blog dedicated to photos of my 1980s big hair.
The pamphlet is hilarious - thanks for the link!

Cyn - I love your blog, but I guess if you’re not pleasing yourself then there’s no purpose.
I tell you what I’ve had enough of - Myspace. “No I don’t want to be your friend!”

I’m over Myspsace, too. It’s boring.
That PSA was hilarious;)
