The problem with blogging…

As I stated in my last post, I haven’t updated in a long while.  So why come back?

Easy, I love to write, and I am presumptuous enough to think that there are people out there masochistic enough to read my ramblings.  And as of yesterday, I found I have some small talent at expressing opinions that others share but are often times uncomfortable to voice.   More on that with my next post.

Recently, I have discovered a plethora of new (to me) podcasts out there covering the World of Warcraft.  Now, I have always wanted to get into radio, (actually, I wanted to get into television, but was told I had a “Radio Face”,) and podcasting intrigued me from the first time I heard about it.  But, I have no experience or know-how, and I know how to write.  So, back to blogging it is.

When I stumble onto a new show, I try and find the first show and listen chronologically.  If the first or second show doesn’t grab me, then I don’t bother listening further.  To both my pleasure and dismay, I have found three podcasts that I am enjoying immensely, and am trying to race to current episodes on each of these shows.  Two of the shows I mentioned in my previous post, Bind On Equip and the Grind. The final find, Wowcast, I completely left out of that list, for no other reason other than sheer stupidity.  BoE thankfully is a relative newcomer to WoW podcasts, with only 14 episodes out, and I am about halfway through the past shows.  Both the Grind and Wowcast have a larger archives (38 and 42 shows respectively.) and are going to take me a bit longer to get current with.

What does this have to do with blogging?  I am so caught up in catching up, I don’t have time to catch up.  So, the shows that inspire me to write are keeping me from writing.  Nice little catch-22, isn’t it?  Now you see the quandry.
