R.I.P.

I've lost the point.

Not "the point" meaning the main idea of the content, but the reason why I push the PUBLISH POST button. It may appear that I've lost all interest in blogger and from the readers standpoint, I would agree. But if only you could see how many drafts I've tucked away. On numerous occasions I've attempted to update my friend, the World Wide Web, about the ongoings of my life-- which, granted, isn't really worth getting updated on, but what are friends for?--and this isn't a rare thing. I used to do this all the time with ease. For some reason, though, the words that go onto this screen, I don't feel are worth the reading. I've lost the point.

In my latest saved draft I even talked about my lack of posting but even that didn't make the cut. My apology to the WWW was stored away. Why? I don't know.

This theme is the same with others. There are a few blogs I like to read and the blogs are from all different blogging sites (blogger, xanga, etc.). I refuse to comment not because I don't want to, but I feel that if what I have to share isn't relative, then what's the point? Who cares what I have to say about someone else's life? So these writers don't know that there is someone out there reading their thoughts (Kind of creepy, right? But doesn't it happen all the time? Someone comes across a blog and for some reason they keep reading and eventually become accustomed to checking, perhaps daily, on the life of this stranger. Well, at least this has happened to me. With a few people. All of these different blogs that I read all have different qualities that I admire; one is inspiring and always uplifting, another is Godly, one is baffling, and another I keep up with is just because he's an excellent writer.) and I feel strange if I, a total stranger, venture on to their site and say "hey, I wish you would keep writing. I like reading what you have to say."

These few Bloggers that I keep up with are all frequent posters except for one, which comes and goes, but they've recently stopped dead in their tracks. I might even say that there needs to be a RIP marker. The last post on one is April 21, another stopped the day after on the 22. Then May 19 and then the 29. What I'm trying to say is maybe I'm not the only one who has lost the point. Maybe everyone else is struggling to hit the button. Maybe the reason my point has fled is because it saw all the other points fleeing.

I wish mine would come back.

And just because I post this doesn't mean my point has returned. No, it just means I'm pretending that I have a point. Perhaps pretending will coax my point to return and bring some friends for those other Bloggers who seem to have lost theirs as well.
