With more and more people talking about new topics that draw blog traffic, there are fewer bloggers people who talk about random, strange things in an interesting manner. I consider The Reasoner to be both a personal and a non-personal site, though since almost every post here has some unique touch to it because of what I write, it can probably be said that this blog is a 100% personal blog. That is why I usually feel the need to talk about something random in this world, in this universe, something that people usually do not talk about, yet they should.

Of course, one of the reasons I do not go about posting completely random things every day is because of the output: what would such a random post about a very unique random topic provide in return, non-monetary and non-traffic for me, and something specific and unique to you as the reader?

As of today, following is a list of 5 things that most bloggers, if not all, usually do not talk about. The reason for such a trend is because many people focus on bringing in traffic and on what advertisors are looking for, and now how the blogger him/herself can take any topic and provide some useful output to the reader. This is also one of the reasons most of the bloggers today are not writers but only marketers and sales people, but they portray themselves as being bloggers and writers.

5 Things People Do Not Usually Blog About

1. Keyboard

   Who talks about keyboards? No, I am not talking about keyboard reviews, or even a post about how a new keyboard is making a blogger happy. How about someone writing about the very existence of a keyboard? What would life be if keyboards never existed? What would life be for one day if our keyboard broke and we could not find another one until the next day? Things like those make you appreciate keyboards more or less, and since keyboards are part of life, such appreciation affects our appreciation for life also. Interesting, isn’t it?

2. Pen

   Aaah yes, the pen. Many poets talk about pen the way lovers talk about their love. I wonder when bloggers will start talking about how a pen would feel, if it were alive, about a pencil? Would the two be jealous about each other? Would we consider a pen to be more influential and helpful to us in our entire life, or a pencil? Thoughts like that about any topic sometimes make ordinary things like pen seem more interesting than a blog itself.

3. The walk from your door to the car, bus, or the grocery store

   This is simply an activity, and for most people, it can be a boring activity if thought about too much. However, from leaving our home to reaching a car, bus or some destination by foot, how do our thoughts change because of the exposure to the outside world? Do we still believe in the same reasons for leaving the house, once we reach a destination, as we did before leaving the house? Even a small activity can be focused upon to kill boredom, or to come up with an interesting perspective about things in order make boring times more pleasing for yourself and your readers.

4. Waiting while putting in gas in your car

   I like smelling gasoline at the gas station. I do not start putting my nose in the gas pipe itself, but if I smell it, I enjoy it. However, during that activity of waiting while filling gas, what do you usually do? Do you always do random things, or do you always do something specific, like getting back in your car and waiting for the car tank to fill up? Who knew the amount of time, spent from putting the gas pipe into your car gas tank to the exact time your car gas tank is filled up, could be analyzed so much!

5. Trying to glance at a guy/girl who is looking at you

   I had a girl look at me today for while, continuously. I also had a guy, a grandmother and a dog do the same to me. I looked back, wondering why they were looking. The dog got bored of me and walked away, which was sad, but the others kept looking for unknown reasons. I tried to glance back, from time to time, wondering if I had a new stalker on the way, or if someone like the girl felt interested in me. Here, for me, the act of looking back and wondering was more important than the reason I was looking back at people who were already looking at me for long periods of time. Maybe Bes is just funny to look at?

These are 5 random things that many people do not blog about. Why? Because advertisors and many readers are not searching for such things, so many bloggers only try to focus on things that bring in more blog traffic.

Exercise: You suggest the most random, strange topic, and I will write about it.

To illustrate what I mean, you can tell me the weirdest thing, topic or idea in this universe, and I will try to write an article about it using a completely unique perspective. Some soul or even souls may have already talked about it sometime in the past, but I will present to you my own unique perspective about that “something” that you point out. I will not talk about it just to fulfill the task of talking about it; I will bring to light something that you may or may not find interesting, but hopefully you will realize how almost anything can be talked about nicely, when done with sincere passion.
