On Titles
Titles are the biggest deterrent to my blogging. I'll have an idea and start to run with it until I ask myself what the title might be. I then sigh and get on with my non-digital life. Blogging is like writing in a public diary, who titles their journal page? (If you do, don't say anything because it nullifies my point.)
There was a period of time where my titles were just the date. I believe I was a more thoughtful blogger back in those days because I wasn't wasting my energies attempting to summarize my scattered thoughts in 5 words. For a while I would just use the title of whatever song was in my head (typically Simon & Garfunkel). I was really just trying to make people think that I came up with a beautifully poetic phrase that perfectly summarized the content of my post.
All that to say I might do away with titles. But then I would have to blog better and more frequently. We'll see what comes of this..

Honestly, this is something I’ve been thinking about, like, today. I like using song titles but changing them up to comic effect. But I don’t use titles. Ever. Maybe I should start? This comment was useless.
