Ok so it comes down to this…

A) I’m way to busy to come up with new, exciting, witty, and/or impactful Blogs all the time.

(I wish that weren’t the case but it is)

B) Blogs are meant to be updated… and often.

Quite the paradox.

I guess that really only leaves me with a couple of options.

1) Change the nature of my Blog

2) Change the nature of my Life

Let’s explore each briefly.

1) Change the nature of my Blog:

Well the most obvious solution to content problems like this is to make the Blog different.

Like focusing more on the daily journal aspects of Blogging. This is an interesting idea as it would provide a lot of content. There’s always something going on here, or some goal/interest that has my attention at the moment…

but I’m not sure anyone really wants to peer that deeply into my soul, or has a desire to really understand the intricate aspects of my everyday life and/or decision making strategies.

And frankly I’m not sure I want anyone looking.

I’m not about to post bad poetry or a top ten list of my deepest desires.

And after all I’m not a female 18 year old college cheerleader who loves horses, and just can’t find a “nice guy” so really who would care to read it anyway.

2) Change the nature of my Life:

It seems to me that my Blog is hindered mostly by work.

If I could somehow escape that I could focus my life on the things I am passionate about and still find time to Blog.

Right now I work a lot and that barely leaves time for Family, Cigars, Poker, Music, Languages… etc, etc.

Sadly I’ve yet to work out a solid near term plan for exiting the rat race.

So I’m in a bit of a pickle here.

I have however decided that I should do the following things (in addition to my on going quest for fun/witty content).

- Focus on my progress towards certain goals of mine.

- Set aside a certain amount of time for Blogging… even if it’s quick.

A bit from each option I suppose.

While I realize the goal tracking is a bit more “journal” like than the things I usually post here… it is after all… DOUGMEADE.com.

If you want an endless onslaught of satire and wit go check The Onion.

Here at DougMeade.com you’re just going to get used to a bit of content about… Doug Meade.

It will also help keep me on track and accountable for many things.

For instance the McDonald’s lunch I just had did NOTHING to move me towards my fitness goals.

Had my fitness goals been public I may have thought twice about that.

Also as I set time aside to Blog I fully realize that there may not me much to say.

Those are the risks… but it’s better than not allocating ANY time and letting the site sit stagnant for weeks and weeks.

I’m not sure what this will do to my comment count, I guess we’ll find out together.

But please do comment when you can. If I post about my fitness goals and no-one demands accountability I’m likely to let myself believe nobody read that one at all.

And of course I have TONS of plans to make DougMeade.com even more interactive and fun.

Yup fun beyond the Blog.

I’ve been promising this a long time I know…

One day it will be done.

Well that’s all for now.

I’ll start the new DougMeade.com paradigm with all speed.
