Right On Track

When I originally started blogging back during the "Endless Winter Of Snow", I set the goal for myself to blog at least five times a week. I have been a little nervous over the past few months that I have not been reaching my "quota" of interesting (or not so interesting) blogable topics. After some quick math I have discovered that I am right on track, well actually I am ahead of my goal. Phew, didn't want to let down my faithful readers!

Blogging Doldrum

I have been sitting around all morning trying to come up with something interesting to blog about. It seems that the more I think about it, the farther and farther away from a topic I get. It's not that I haven't been doing anything, it just seems that what I have been up to just isn't "blogable", thus I'm in a blogging doldrum. (When all else fails, and you don't have anything to blog about, make up new blogging terms)

Blogable: A topic, or event that is interesting enough that you want to share it with the internet.
Blogging Doldrum: When you are lacking a blogable topic or event

Enough rambeling from me, here is a little info that I found on doldrums during my morning Wiki search:
"The doldrums is a colloquial expression derived from historical maritime usage. The Doldrums (often capitalized when referring to the geographic region) is an area of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean affected by the Intertropical Convergence Zone, a low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm. The low pressure is caused by the heat at the equator, which makes the air rise and travel north and south high in the atmosphere, until it subsides again in the horse latitudes. Some of that air returns to the Doldrums through the trade winds. This process can lead to light or variable winds and more severe weather, in the form of heavy squalls, thunderstorms and hurricanes. This region is also noted for calm periods when the winds disappear altogether, or are light and shifting. Because of the unpredictable weather patterns, the Doldrums became notorious with sailors because this region's periods of deadly calm could trap boats for days or weeks on end as they waited for enough wind to power their sails.

In colloquial usage, "being in the doldrums" refers to being in a state of listlessness, despondency, inactivity, stagnation, or a slump."

Blogable

For fear of being called out by Rach again, I am blogging just to blog. Also, my goal of blogging at least five times a week has not been going too well lately. School is swinging quickly into wrap-up mode, the weather has been in a slump, the long weekend seems just a few too many hours away, and I just haven't found anything to be blogable lately.

The new seafood opened today on Weld St, maybe tomorrow I will have something exciting to say about that. In the mean time, here is a little info on The Thinker, since I sat at my desk impersonating this pose trying to come up with something that is blogable.

"The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze and marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin held in the Musée Rodin in Paris. It depicts a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal struggle. It is often used to represent philosophy." (wikipedia.com)
