Why I Don't Blog More Often.

I wish I blogged more frequently, I've often got ideas that I'd like to write about but it's getting the ideas from my head to the computer that's the problem. Here's a good example of what typically happens when I sit down to write. The other night Dianna and I were at Kroger and I happened to hear part of Sinead O'Conners version of "Nothing Compares 2 U". I love this song, it's one of the saddest songs ever recorded, the pain in Sinead's voice is enough to make you weep. I was in sort of melancholy mood anyway, so I thought I'd do a blog about some of my favorite sad songs. That should be easy, "The River" by Springsteen, "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles, "Jackie Brown" by John Mellancamp, "God" by John Lennon and "Full of Grace" by Sarah Mclachlan all popped into my head immediately. But here's where the problem started, I thought let's see what other people think are the saddest songs ever, so I googled Sad Songs. After perusing other people's list and listening to parts or all of half a dozen to a dozen songs, I refocused on my list. I then went youtubing to find music for my list of sad songs, there's at least another half hour gone finding and listening to my five songs (some I listened to more than once). But the real problem came when I went looking for "Full of Grace", whenever I hear this song I'm transported to the end of season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as Buffy leaves Sunnydale (heartbreaking). If you know my obsession with the Buffyverse you know this knocked me off track from my list of 5 saddest songs. I decided to look for my favorite songs from Buffy and Angel. So after watching who knows how many tribute videos, listening a couple of times to Kim Richeys' "A Place Called Home" (featured in season 5 of Angel), and fruitlessly searching for Andy Hallett's (Lorne on Angel) version of Tony Bennetts "If I ruled the world" it's now 1 a.m. and what did I end up with. I became a fan of Christian Kane (Lindsey from Angel) on facebook. And that's why I don't blog more often, everything eventually leads back to Buffy.
