Blogging about....what?

Those who have read this blog, and you are few and far between, would agree that there really is no specific purpose to it. I just ramble on about what I did over the weekend, or what band I saw, or what my newest obsession is. But is that interesting to anyone? I know I want to write here, and I assume that at least some people will stumble upon it and read it, but will they return, and if so why? Are they dying to find out what Jeff did over the weekend? Is that important? Does that matter? Maybe I'm just writing for myself, and it's good enough to just ruminate over my latest activities.

Or perhaps I need more focus to these writings. Art imitates life, don't it? If my blog lacks focus, is that symbolic of my own lack of focus? Am I reading way too much into this?

If I had to pick some focused topic, what would it be? What do I know about? What wisdom can I impart to my "readership" that would help them in their lives - that would entice them to come back day after day to sniff around for next tidbit?

I am fairly hip to good music, so maybe I should focus my site on music. People could come to my site to see who they should check out this week. Who has a new album that they absolutely need to buy? Who has a concert going on that they must attend?

OR, I can talk about my deepest thoughts, feelings, and philosophies. I have thought about doing this a lot recently. I think a blog like this would be interesting, because I truly believe that there are people out there that could relate to me, or at least understand what I'm going through. This would stimulate a dialog, I believe, because everyone has their own philosophies and experiences which they are dying to contribute to such a conversation.

Ideally, I'd like to do both of the above. But I find it hard to do the latter one, because I'd be baring my soul to the world, even if that world is small. Just thinking about it makes me feel vulnerable, like the idea of publishing the lyrics to a song I write which addresses some deep feelings. People who know me know that I do keep a bit of myself to myself. OK - maybe a lot of myself. So, this would be a tremendous departure, and it could even become the case that you'd find more about me on this blog than by talking to me in person. That seems ludicrous, but maybe it's indicative of how closed off I am to people around me.

So, what to do? I can stay with the status quo and just write about my experiences or my opinions on music. But those things do seem somewhat empty without being colored with a bit of myself. Or maybe there's some happy medium I can find.

If you are reading this, please comment. I want to know what you think.
