For Want of a Theme

 

This blog has suffered through abandonment and fresh starts, indecision and neglect, and the lack of a theme. It is that need of a unifying theme that has had me stop and start so often. I began with politics, but soon saw that meant dealing with idiots, so I changed to religion and philosophy. That won’t work as a theme either. There is only so much I can say about the incredulity of religious claims.

I considered a “How to Clean” theme but, though a clean freak, I am no expert on the subject.

Architecture. That would be great. I do love the fields of art and architecture, but there is a problem: the cost of graphics. I cannot at this time afford the cost of images of those works on the internet.

So, I’ve chosen to blog with no theme. I have a wide variety of interests on which I think I have something to say. With no unifying theme, I can write about cleaning hacks, post-modern architecture, the current political climate and its threat to the democratic experiment, the military, books and literature, my own short stories and essays, and even the adventures of an amateur cook. The field is wide open.

In the coming days I will post a short story centered on illicit sex, another, a historical fiction featuring the Joseph McCarthy political with hunts of the 1950s, and a bio and review of one of my literary heroes.

I hope that the freedom to write a themeless blog will be as entertaining and informative as it is liberating.
