Brain Fertilizer

To tell the truth, I hate blogging about politics.

I am very passionate about my political beliefs, but I’ve gotten to the point that I hate blogging about it. I recognize that when I put what I believe down on trons (can’t say “down on paper”, right?) that I am alienating anyone who doesn’t agree with me. Some of my favorite people are either slightly or strongly in opposition to my political views.

Aside from all that, I seem to get the most attention from the rest of the blogosphere when I write about other things than politics.

So why do I do it?

Well, sometimes I feel like I’m being unfair to my regular readers when I don’t post. As hard as it is to fathom, some people actually like to read what I’ve written. If I don’t post, people start worrying about me and stuff. And there’s nothing worse than not getting your free ice cream, right?

But there are a few things that appear to be coming together. The Chiefs are looking like they will be very, very interesting this year, if not very good (although I’m convinced they may surprise some people). So I’ll have quite a bit to write about there.

My involvement with Car Lust Blog also has me thinking (and therefore, writing) more and more about cars.

I have lots and lots of guitar stuff to write about…I’ve been considering starting a regular Guitar Lust feature (modeled after the Car Lust), and have started assembling lots of pictures for that. I was daunted by the idea of running out of guitars to talk about, and that too many were just: “Well, I’ve never played one and probably never will, but it’s *pretty*”. But you know what? Screw it. I’m going to start doing one Guitar Lust each week.

So this fall I think should be a fruitful time for this blog.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to avoid the politics that polarize.

…right after I post another political post, of course.
