Blogs of Boredom (BoBs)

Right, let me pick up where I left things… Given also the interesting comments I received, let’s try and make this a bit clearer by using an example.
Imagine you have a guy (or a girl, doesn’t really make much difference). You give them a ticket for a trip somewhere. You also give them a camera that they’re fairly comfortable using. You set them free. My personal experience has shown me that:

“The amount of photos taken on any journey is almost* directly proportional to how bored that person was during the journey”

Following so far? Feel like disagreeing? Just a second then.
I’ve observed this on others, and I’ve observed this on myself. I like taking pictures. I really, really like taking pictures. It would take something of biblical proportions to stop me from doing so (first rider of Apocalypse shaking his head…). And still, fact remains. I will take a lot of photos when I’m having a good time, but if I’m bored I’ll even take photographs of my toothpaste. The same thing goes for my writing, be it in a blog, a notepad, a book (ha! I'd wish!) or a wall.
So, where am I going with this? Itelli is right, even if I was in Antartica / paradise / Fidji / padded cell, I would still find something to write about, because I find a lot of things interesting (especially in my head – hence sfranky’s comment is kind of relevant), and somehow I’m always looking for things to write about. However, when I feel really happy, I will not put a single damn entry into my blog. That explains why you very rarely see any mention of happy events in my blog (something which caused my girlfriend to wonder as to why exactly am I writing a blog, since I usually moan to her all the time anyway). And if I’m in a state of bliss, I might even only take a couple of photos per week :)

In any case, when my posts take a long time to be renewed, I’m probably having a good time. Or I’m in Guantanamo. Or both.

*The “almost” part accounts for two parameters, namely a) people doing a journey in order to take pictures and b) going to a place with really interesting things to take pictures of - not the same!
