The subject matter of my blog drafts
In the post yesterday in which I mentioned that I’ve got 400+ drafts on this blog and about 100 on my old blog, reader Tom Murin asked: “How many of the drafts are about dance or makeovers?”
Some are, but it’s about the same percentage of the whole as you find in the posts on the blog. The subject matter of the drafts is just as varied as the posts—really all over the place in topic. But I thought it might be interesting to mention a few random ones that might be coming down the pike—some day:
Blue-green confusion
Swimming and the old man
History of shotgun weddings
Nuclear decisions and the chain of nuclear command
Taking religious texts literally
Are blacks disproportionately shot by police?
Two Emilys and one Robert
Early Communist: William Godwin
When the right falls for the left’s spin
How to vet immigrants without banning Muslims
I’ll stop there, but obviously I could go on. Four hundred is a lot of drafts. There’s quite a range of things that have grabbed my interest enough to write something about them, but they’re often such large topics that I don’t quite finish them and thus they end up in that drafts folder. Or, I write a post and I decide it’s kind of meh and I’m dissatisfied with it; not really quite good enough to pass muster, but I figure I’ll get back to it some day and improve it. Often I never do get back to it, knowing how way leads on to way.
Or, to put it another way,
I got’s the Blue-green confusion
From Swimming with the old man.
Here’s my History of shotgun weddings
In the chain of nuclear command.
I ain’t Not Taking religious texts literally
For shot by police Are blacks disproportionately,
Unless they were Two Emilys and one named Robert Frost,
And all the Early Communists William Godwin glossed.
Whenever the right falls for the left’s spin
They vet immigrants without banning Muslims
[Sing that in the key of Bob Dylan and take the rest of the weekend off.]
Neo, I should have put a smiley face after my post in case anyone was wondering. My tongue was planted firmly in cheek (literally?).
I watch all of the makeover videos and a fair portion of the dance related posts too. I am impressed by the talent of the dancers.
The variety of the posts keep this blog real. There is more to life than politics – as hard as that can be to believe at times.
