Seriously.
I know that seems tongue-in-cheek and amazingly heretical, but we can pretty much find the answer to any question if we ask The Omniscient Google.
(Well, barring a few existential inquiries – but God isn’t really answering those questions for me lately, either. So what’s the difference?)
(Man. I’m gonna get in some heavenly trouble for writing this.)
But, seriously (again)… Google could potentially be the most helpful invention of my generation. If man has thought it, then Google can find it. (Thought is the past-tense of think, right?) If there’s anything you need for your computer – like some kind of software or add-on or something – you can type in what you’re looking for and I’m pretty sure Google find it. And if you find it but you don’t know how to use it, I’m equally sure that you can type out “how to use ‘this thing I just found but don’t know how to use’” and you can find that out too. Probably on a youtube video. Or, if you prefer written instructions, they’ll be sitting in some online manual or forum somewhere.
Or if you don’t know how to make a certain pie. (ie: humble pie. haha. Sorry, it’s early in my type-up-this-post world.)
Or if you, like me, are wondering how divers can actually physically breathe oxygen-enriched liquid, so they can dive well-below what is remotely considered the safe zone of pressurization for the human body.
Speaking of, excuse me while I go do some research.

so, i thought i’d let y’all in on how i find blogging ideas:
1) i listen to my heart. a good portion of my posts come from what i am thinking or feeling deep inside. when revelation or epiphany hits, i take mental note. and usually write it out from there.
2) i observe and assess my life. sometimes i mentally step back from my life and take a good look at what’s going on. in so doing, i always find a notable moment or dynamic or relationship or experience.
3) i keep my eyes open for inspiration. i’ll find a useful webtool that will spark creativity (www.pixton.com, for instance), or i’ll come across a blog post that sets the wheels of my mind in motion. i intentionally take advantage of these opportunities.
4) i plan a few days ahead. there’s no way i wake up every morning and ask myself what two posts i’m going to offer the world today. my creative juices do NOT flow under pressure. (this post is an exception – i’m constructing the body of it the morning i will post.)
5) i sort through the [dozens of] drafts i have stored up. yes. i said dozens, but half of them aren’t that great. (i’ve had this idea stored up for a few months.)
6) i google “creative blog ideas”… duh. there are some great suggestions out there. (the subject of this post – how i find blogging ideas – came this way.)
how do YOU find blogging ideas?
yes. i’m updating my blogroll as well. see. i originally had a long one, then decided it got too cluttery, so i shortened it.
but then, last week, y’all called me & Tam out on not having you on our roll.

i want you on my roll.
but, we’re gonna get CRAZY with this and try something NEW – because this is the COOLEST NEW THING ON THE INTERNET.
