Maybe I've blogged every thought I've ever had and that's it, now my head is empty.
Maybe it's just been a rough week and I'm feeling a bit blue.
Whatever the case: I can't think of anything to blog about.
So if you have any ideas for topics that you'd like to hear me ramble on about, lemme know.

I'm fresh out, too. In fact, I pulled out some old journals the other day looking for something and thought, "Hey, I could blog THIS!" Sad but true.
There's something wrong with me. I never, ever run out. I lie in bed with blog items running through my head (half of which I forget). I view life through blog-colored glasses.
I know - strange.
do you ever do any of the meme's?? i'm not a big meme person but there are a few i like. open letter day, aloha friday and the mommy confessions. lol
How are your preparations for home schooling coming? Have you found any good websites/reference materials?
When I started using Twitter and Facebook my blog pretty much died. Sometimes I think about posting daily twitter recaps, like some bloggers do, not so much to have blog content as to save the twitter posts in a searchable, archivable way. Also, I keep telling myself, as I'm struggling to condense a thought into 140 characters, that I should just blog about it, but I don't. Maybe that could be an idea for you: Any twitter post that you have a hard time making short enough goes in the blog. (?)
I like the homeschooling idea.
Aaand... I'll have to get back to you.
Are you homeschooling now?
What I'm impressed about is that you made a post out of it. When I am out of ideas, I just don't blog for days on end and then I think, "I need to post SOMETHING!" and then we get posts like my most recent, which rambles on about nothing.
Ideas for you? Hmm. Tell you what. I will give you ideas if you give ME ideas. Deal? Ok.
Ideas for you: summertime activities you hate/love. Why you won't come visit me in Morocco. Fun family stories about your grandparents. The view from your front window. There are 4. You owe me.
Oh one more--if you had a young woman who was moving to your town for the summer because of a terrorist murder in your old town, a young woman you knew slightly, and you had agreed to mentor her, what sort of questions would you ask during your weekly meetings? She's Canadian, if that helps.
Tell us about your wedding. Did Mr Beck propose or did you come to an agreement?
What three FAMOUS dead people would you like to have dinner with? For the purposes of dinner the dead people will be fully re-animated and will not be partially decomposed.
Show us what is in your fridge. No cleaning it up beforehand.
Explain your purse aversion.
Write a post call the Tao of Puffballs.
Do your windows have curtains or blinds or are you one of those people who has "window treatments?"
What fashion trends should be outlawed? Please include gladiator sandals on the list.
Just to clarify: you just wanted ideas, not necessarily good ideas? Oh. Good then.
Mock the naming trends of Movie Stars. Always good for a chuckle :)
Where's that GLOOP satire? (heh)
Well? I'm WAITING!

Ideas of Out
Uh...you have something back in the list called "posts I am thinking about writing"
When the impossible has been eliminated, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the post. ~Sherlock Holmes, Almost
I cheat whenever I'm out of ideas--I start writing a list of things for which I'm grateful (and yes, I know it looks pretentious when written that way, but my mother is an editor and I can't bring myself to write "thing I'm grateful for"). I look like a wonderful, positive upbeat person, and I don't have to agonize over writing a meaningful post. Double score for me!
I think you should discuss your "salute to Lionel Ritchie in the basement department" more thoroughly. Just so we all know. And offer suggestions about saluting other members of popular culture, like say, Jean Luc Picard, or Don King, or Enya.
Stories from your childhood, please. Escapades preferred.
=)
What's that I hear? You're planning to "homeschool" your kids? Why? I thought you liked your school system.
Things I would like Beck to write about:
1. Goop.
2. Why I love Mystery Fiction.
3. Rednecks I Have Known
4. The Only Good Pet Is...
5. Cookbooks That Saved My Life
Things I am not particularly interested in, but would read if Beck wrote:
1. Automotive Repair for Housewives
2. Urban Planning and the North
3. Elevators vs. Escalators: The Final Showdown
4. Zombie Films I Have Loved
Things I probably wouldn't read, even if Beck wrote them:
1. How Much Would Jesus Weigh?
2. Freud Was Right About Everything
3. Why Americans Suck
4. History of My Dental Care
1. I'm with Veronica. Please, please blog about Goop.
2. Fast Food.
3. Ice Fishing
4. Your life history in a haiku
5. Stephan Harper. (If anyone can make the poor man seem interesting, it's you.)
6. What movies make you want to poke your eyes out?
7. You've now got a million hypothetical dollars. Spend it. And tell us.
I'd love a field guide for dealing with know-it-alls, and not the 4 and 3 year old varieties, I refer to those experiencing their second round of high school decades later.
Are you homeschooling? Am interested.
Also, I think a grand summer recipe post would just make you feel all better. Or maybe me. Whoops.
So I've heard in the comments on several blogs -- not recently, maybe a year ago? -- women oohing and ahhing over Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice. What say you? Is he an arrogant ass not even CLOSE to deserving Elizabeth (as I think), or does he make you swoon? Also: what literary character most resembles your husband?
Also: You say yours is a dying town. What could save it? (This is a bit like Veronica's "urban planning and the north.")
Seeing as how you can post about how you have nothing to post about and get 22 comments about it.... good job! ;)
Hee, hee. Your post reminded me of this oldie but goodie: "The End of the Internet" http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
Can't help ya. It's been over a week since I've had anything interesting to say (and even then, it's a stretch).
Right there with you, Beck.
How's about pulling out some vintage Beck? Like from junior high?
tell me how you fell in love
My post idea: Make your blog show the post on Bloglines. Well, that's not a post. But it DRIVES ME INSANE that I cannot get the gist of your posts until I click over! And then? THEN you are posting at 5M4M or something and I have to click AGAIN?!? My pc is really slow, babe. You're KILLING ME.
Lucky I love you, or I'd totally not click on you. Totalllllly.
Well there are days like this but so far I thought they would never happen to you :-)
You could do a song about a ramble like the guy whose video I just posted on my blog - check it out.
Have a very nice weekend!
Sorry you've had a rough week that's left you blue, Beck. I can totally relate how that would leave one's blogging brain empty.
How about something on what celebrations or traditions your family and town do up over the summer.
I've felt much the same lately.
This made me smile, Beck. I can't imagine your head empty of all thoughts. :-)
I wouldn't worry about it. If you can't think of anything to post about, then do what I do - don't. LOL
I think I managed to squeeze two posts out this past week. And one of them was really pushing it.
Well, you've done it. You created a wonderfully entertaining post by saying you don't have anything to say and then letting all your humorous readers comment about it. I lol'd several times. ;)
I've resorted to writing about my in-laws.

I want to hear about homeschooling.
