In search of a blog theme

I've always wanted to have a themed blog. Rather than my incoherent ramblings, I would love to have a place where I air my coherent, organised thoughts on a specific topic. A friend had this cool travel blog where she talked about her travels as a doctor around Nigeria. All sorts of cool pictures and stuff are on there. This other dude has a shutterchance account. He's a professional photographer now. Good for him. Then there are the erotica peeps. The storytellers. And the angsty emo crew who bemoan their perpetual state of brokenheartedness. (*side eyes all Adele fans*). Oh! The joys of knowing what you want to blog about!


Me, I've toyed with various possibilities. A place where I discuss the current political debacle. You know, give my unsolicited and largely unhelpful opinion and advice about global policies. At other times, I want to focus on my love for science. I really do love science. Expound on current research. Talk about my trials in my quest for a PhD and a meaningful position in academia (yes, I am a nerd *hangs head). Then there was one time I wanted to share my pictures. I love taking them. And I need a place to show them off sometimes. But I'll wait til I get my Nikon D3200. I do love to travel. I could document my traipses across the globe. Or my love of food and cake and everything decadent and bad for me. That would surely be a treat. Currently, I'm going through men. No not like that. But I do seem to attract the oddest set of males. I'm 30 now and single and..... well, let's just leave it at that.

So that's the problem. I have so much I want to talk about. Plus there is the problem of having the time to follow up on all those accounts. I am by any and all standards lazy. I refuse to do no more than is absolutely necessary. Keeping up with one blog is hard enough work as it is. So yeah, I'll just stick to this one. I will continue to jump from topic to topic with no discernible concept running through them. And sadly, whoever you are reading this, you will just have to deal with it. Thank you for reading my blog. Feel free to leave a comment. :-)
