I don’t know if some people are actually reading what I put here. I am not really the type of guy who’ll bother my whole list in Friendster (composed of friends, pseudo-friends and I-didn’t-remember adding-you people) that I have a new crappy blog post by sending each and everyone that email that’s bound to hit the trash.

In case you want to know, I am procrastinating again this week because I decided to take a short hiatus from all my writing about parenting, real estate and cash advance loans. You may google those keywords and just maybe you could hit some of the articles I’ve toiled for the past few weeks. Like now, I know what it feels like to have a brain reduced to the size of a raisin. It’s like when you’re churning out the same old “mortgage loan” topic to make ten different articles, you probably would feel dried up of your juices. Creative juices, that is. It is actually kind of funny at first when I tried to inhabit other people so that my articles won’t sound too similar from each other.

For instance, the parenting blog I was tasked to write in. I had to take the point of view of a mother. She’s giving tips to her readers how to start hobbies for their kids like origami or what to do when you take your kids to the park for a picnic or things a mother should do if she decides to take them to a swimming pool…things like that. If I had to write those articles using my point of view, I would have suggested to teach their kids how to kill live chickens for lunch or maybe dissecting frogs as a great pastime during weekends. I actually told my boss that it took a lot of effort dignifying and sanitizing my writing “voice” to fit in that goody-two shoes blog.

As if I had a choice. These topics are the ones driving those precious clicks in websites. Many readers online want to read simple stupid things like “how to have sex” or “how to tie your shoes”. I cannot actually imagine how blunt these people can be and later on one would even want to search in google about “how to get a life” too.

Oh well… That’s work and I have to take it all in. I can pretend to be stupid because this pays the bills. Maybe I should start reading “how to get a life” soon.
