What to do? Oh what to do?

I’ve been rounding blogs on the net lately and I’m fascinated with the ideas of so many people. Much like the underground punk scene, there’s a community of bloggers willing to share their ideas. Basically, it’s largely an online diary where people could let others take a peek on their so-called life. It’s a great idea actually; a form of expression of another level.

For the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot on how to make this blog “different.” The truth is, I did not take a hiatus or something. All the while, I was trying on how to concretize this “idea” I have.

First, there really isn’t much to say about me. There are times that I even find myself boring and lazy. I lack the discipline to keep-up with whatever ambitious project I have started. Unless of course there’s a big necessity, or it really perked my interest, I just slide things off for tomorrow. Carpe diem is not my style. I collect zzzzzzzzzz and take things slowly.

The first idea I had in mind was to make this blog a “Question and Answer” website. As it would turn out, this page would belong to the people who would answer the questions I would give. In essence, the questions would be about life in particular. Each day, I would think of a question that I myself might want to ask me. The comment link would serve as response dialogue box, and the tag board, the general comments about the site.

The second idea is more ambitious. I already have some “index cards” on the ideas that I would write; the only thing lacking is the actual writing. We have soap operas on the radio as well as on television. My idea is to do the same on this blog. It must contain all the elements found on a telenovela with little twists, which is basically my writing. The aim of this project is for me to discipline myself into writing at least one entry per two days. That way, I would be “forced” to write, write, write.

Or maybe I could do both. What do you think? The first idea or the second one, or both? Click your comments people. Thanks!
