To cast away stones or to gather stones together?

I am a little bit confused as to the direction I want this blog to head in. I've been looking at other blogs to see how it's done; ya see, the only blog I ever really kept was an old livejournal. That was way back in high school, and the lj was just a way for me to pour out my brains for my friends to see. Other blogs, at least all of those that last and have followers, have a common thread through all their posts, be it pictures of rock climbing trips, vegan recipes, or album reviews. I would really like to see some sort of theme develop in my own writing, instead of just wasting cyberspace with my brain vomit; that's what paper journals are for. I want a blog with direction, a purpose, something to drive me to keep up with it.

But then again, I already have a title that implies a theme. I suppose I could use it as an outlet for all the anxieties and joys I experience on my road to earning my secondary education certification. And there's no rule saying I can't use it to post the occasional photo of me climbing cliffs, a recipe I concocted, or a review of an album I just listened to. Teachers do have lives outside of teaching, after all. I suppose that it's just hard to start when one can go in any direction...infinite possibility is a fantastic thing, but it's also intimidating.

In any case, I think the only conclusion I can come to today is that there is a lot to talk about...so much so, in fact, that I thoroughly doubt that this little corner of cyberspace that I'm going to call my own will give you a decent picture of who I am. Then again, it will probably develop the more time I put into it. I hope I keep up with this one.
