Relationships are blog killers

As I was looking down my list of blogs I read, I noticed that there are a lot of people who don't blog anymore. A few of them were short lived; they got excited and wrote 5 posts and they were done. But some of them were uber bloggers. The ones who posted almost every day and sometimes twice a day. Nothing could stop them. And now... silence.

Well, I noticed a trend. Their blogging petered off right around the time they started DATING. Relationships are blog killers! I guess once you have someone of your own to tell all your stories to, you don't need to retell it to the rest of the world. They also use the "B" word ("Busy"). They're too busy to blog now.

Well it seems that all blogs eventually get past the honeymoon stage and either the blog gets maintained at regular intervals or it drops off to nothing. The maintained blogs belong to those who have chosen to make blogging a hobby, OR they need to keep people up to date and the blog is the easiest format to use. The rest have changed their priorities and are now too busy.

Then there's me. I'm just lazy... I mean busy.

Wow! Two posts in two days! ;) I dunno, I've blogged through relationships. But then again I'm just crazy. ;)

I would have to say that kids are blog regenerators. Once you have kids, you have LOT's to put on your blog... AND you might as well blog at 4 in the morning when the kid is awake and wanting you to let them play.

Hey 'Homsar'. I was wondering who that was. This is the first time i'd done a blog, and i'm only going to do it for the time i'm home. The end keeps me regular...
