Ramblings

Ramblings are most commonly seen in blog posts that aren't trying to accomplish anything, and where the blogger doesn't care about grammar. The writer just wants to write and get out what he has to say regardless of how it might be taken. It can also just be part of the blog title of a non-professional blogger that doesn't take him/herself too seriously.

Entire sites like twitter and other microblogging sites take random ramblings to the extreme with their short character limits and social features. Examples of rambling blog posts might involve boring stories about how long it took to shovel the driveway, what someone ate for dinner, or what time they went to sleep. 

Other times, these blogs are very interesting and keep you coming back because you don't know what to expect. BoingBoing is a good example that keeps up with the popular trends and posts interesting stuff regardless of the topic.

  Bringing the Drama — Authority: 424
  I woke up this morning excited to watch the Clemson-south carolina game. Even though Clemson has looked great the past 6 games, I told someone last week, I keep waiting for the fall. I’ve been accustomed to some kind of bad game just when you think everything is going well. Last week they won the division, but ...

  One Pretentious Bastard — Authority: 130
  My typical Saturday morning ritual includes: Listening to Morning Edition, Car Talk and cleaning the bathroom. I did both of these things, as well as washed a metric fuck ton of laundry.

I suggest you try and rewrite your piece using "Ms Bindel", instead of "Bindel". ... This did produce, and is still producing, ...

  Marathon Bird — Authority: 123
  I am such an I Meant To type of person. The list of these meant tos (no, not Mentos) is way too long. Maybe my 41st year will be the year I do better with that. I mean to.

  So recently when on Holiday, I had to laugh when asking Jefford what make his rental car was? Oh I don’t know, I think it’s a Kia? All I know is that you can leave the key in it, he retorted!
