Blogging is a "Thing"

I've decided to become a more dedicated blogger.  Why?  Because it's a thing now.  As I stumble around New York City peering through its smoke and mirrors, I have noticed that even what seem like the most ridiculous things are still in fact things that people really care about.  Every woman in my office reads Gawker and talks about it, so I guess it's somehow valid.  When I worked at an overrated restaurant in Chelsea, word would get out that a blogger was in our midst and then their meal would be comped.  Free food and potential advertising dollars?  The pros seem to outweigh the cons.  I'm late to the party, but I brought the Bartels & James.

So, I've decided that perhaps I can stumble onto some of that lightning in a bottle.  All I need is a focus. A gimmick.  Thoughts anyone?  I don't care enough about celebrities to trash them incessantly and without remorse.  I can give no Suze Orman-esque financial tips or you'd be sleeping in Zucotti Park, wondering how you were going to put your next marijuana and Boca Burger dinner on the table.  I am WAY too camera shy to do a video blog and too many people think they're far too captivating on camera anyway. 

Deduction:  Until I find a focus, I'm still going to be more dedicated to this blog.  I'm going to share my opinion about things that don't really matter with reckless abandon.  But I'm open to suggestions...

Go.
