So Much to Say, So Little...Energy? Motivation?

I have been thinking of a number of clever, pithy subjects to write about for the past week, but every time I sit at the computer I turn into the dog with ADD, distracted by the nearest butterfly fluttering past and never get to actually writing my blog. Perhaps another reason for this is a friend, upon learning I keep a blog, asking "So this is basically a journal/diary of what you do?" I said "Yeah, something like that" to which she replied, "Not to sound mean, but who cares?" Who cares, indeed?

I don't actually think anyone beyond a very few friends reads this. (But that is helpful seeing as those friends live far away.) In some ways, keeping a blog is just good writing practice, but I never sit down and say "Gee I feel like working on my communication skills today; I think I'll blog." So is there any value in what this is? Many of the blogs I enjoy reading have a theme (academic, knitting, satire), but I've not done that. I don't know that there's one thing to which I would want to solely dedicate my blog. Maybe my problem is that I am not envisioning or invoking an audience.

Although I don't know that that's really a problem per say.
