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.

  Luke Ford — Authority: 133
  Who here has watched Hockey before? For those who haven’t they have this thing called taking a dive where a seemingly manly man, “takes a dive” and exaggerates what would normally be no big deal for extra attention. This pussy of a move is highly frowned upon by fans and well let’s be real, it makes you look ...

  Read it or Weep — Authority: 416
  I lov e books and reading and since I love every book that I read (I read the last page first so I know what the ending will be and I won’t start a book if I don’t like the ending so…I love every book that I read), I had a hard time selecting my “Best of 2009” book list. I’ve read all ...

• Scarlet A

  
  Godless Blogger — Authority: 132
  I really like this as a symbol for atheism. I’m sure many people have read The Scarlet Letter before. Basically, an adulterer is required to wear a giant red A to show they are an evil sinner. What could better symbolize atheism? We are a group that has been oppressed for centuries and classified as simply evil. ...

  What do you do when you get ‘angry’? When it makes your blood pressure rise, your mind goes blank and you don’t know what you will do next? Whatever the cause of it is- whether it is a reaction to unpleasant words, a false accusation, when people don’t treat you the way you think you should be treated, ...

  Piece Of Mind — Authority: 130
  Years ago, in the mid-90’s, I attempted to read Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations. In those days my time was limited, and I tried to be at my desk at a certain time each day, and so was distracted by the anxiety of a day’s work ahead and all of the attending problems as I tried to read in the morning. By evening, ...
