I have lots of motivation to blog. For one thing, I like writing. I don't do it much, but I like it. For another thing, I'm surrounded by bloggers. Mostly very good and entertaining bloggers.

• I tend to learn more about my daugher's life by reading her blog than by having dinner with her.
• My girlfriend, who is a very talented designer of web pages, with a much better eye for color than I, just started her own blog and already has cool content (mostly good recipes we have made together.)
• One of my favorite blogs just because it is so raw and revealing of the utter chaos in a mind.

And there are a bunch of others (I love RSS feeds) that I follow on a regular basis.

The big problem for me is follow through. A movie that has a line that has always stuck with me is "Night Shift" with Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, Shelly Long (memo to self...add it to the Netflix queue.) There's a line there where Michael Keaton says "I'm an ideas man, Chuck!" And that's what I feel like a lot. I'm great at ideas, and suck on followthrough.

Perhaps the fact that I'm addicted to following other blogs will motivate me to write stuff in mine.
