When I first started blogging, I had so many ideas for posts floating around in my head that I started keeping notepads everywhere. My bag was packed with little scraps of paper that held true brilliance for the blogosphere. Now, not so much.
I don’t know, maybe it’s that I’ve been doing it for a while and I’ve said all I have to say – or life gets in the way – or the pressure is just too much. Hard to say. Though I usually come up with something to write about.
Sometimes though, you come up with ideas that just go nowhere – or refuse to let you write them – or are just too damn stupid to actually publish them on the Internet.
Here are a few that never made it to the post buffer and never will. And I’ll leave it to you and your imagination to figure out what the content of these posts could have been: 😆
- Generally Freaked Out and Homicidal
- Dead Cat Casseroles
- Pimples – The New White Meat
- Smut Among the Daffodils
- Telemarketers I Have Loved
- I Hear That – And It’s Pissing Me Off
- Born to be a Prison Bitch
- My Night With Mel Gibson
- Zelda’s Academy Award Party
- Daughtry – Bald, Bag of Angst or….Rock Star?
- The Loser Gene
- Bubbles in my Pants
- Ten Things to do With a Dead Spouse
- My Favorite Diseases
Now, I know that many of you out there have a few titles of your own. So…give. 😉

Bubbles in my pants?
I’d love to hear that one.
And you know I don’t have any titles. I’m title-bereft. Always.
Jess,
How did I know you’d go for the bubbles? LOL – sure you’d want to hear it?
Yes, you don’t have the title gene. I could sell you some. 😆

Ten things to do with a dead spouse, hm? WC, you make me laugh. Speaking of interesting titles, you have some written down– even if you’ll never use them.
heart. jane.
Hey Jane,
Yep, 10 things to do with a dead spouse – it has a sort of ring to it, doesn’t it? Imagine what I might have come up with.
I’ll be checking on you soon. 😉

These are great titles!
Save them and use them. You must. 2, 3 and four have piqued my interest. i can’t even imagine…
Now wouldn’t that be ironic? After I did a post about how I couldn’t do these, then I turned around and did them?
Number four is probably my favorite of all the titles – it just begs for something, doesn’t it? 😉

I’d like to hear some of these myself, esp. Born to be a Prison Bitch and Telemarketers I have Loved (sounds like a good ode). I’m afraid I’m not the best at titles either, unless of course it’s for a poem. This was a funny post. kim
Hey Kimmy!
You know, it’s funny – I don’t know why but I thought you would like the Telemarketers I Have Loved. Weird, huh?

I like the bubbles in the pants as well. But the Pimples – the new white meat’ made me choke as I spewed water all over the place. Brilliant, oh wise one.
Hey Red,
LOL – I was afraid there might be some spewing accidents. 😆 Just thinking about the post with that title makes me go eeeeooooowwww.

When i saw number four, i thought of a story i deleted about my first encounter with pornography at age five. i came across it walking a shortcut through a field of weeds.
Anyway, irony is awesome. i love irony.
You know, I think I may have walked through that field of weeds, myself. It’s funny what triggers the memories, isn’t it?

What…the…hell? I really don’t want to know what goes on in your brain, or how you came up with these posts.
As for me, all of my posts make it to the published stage. The secret? I have a little system to get all of the good thoughts sifted out from the bad ones. ALL of my post ideas come to me at a time when I don’t have a piece of paper on hand. The logic is that if the idea is awesome enough that I’ll remember it when I go to write something on my blog, it has deserved the right to be written, by the decree of natural selection.
I don’t know what goes on in my brain either. But it’s lots of fun and there are many beautiful colors. Your method sounds better, but I just don’t think I could do it. Cripes if I had to wait to post things that deserve to be written, my blog would be blank pretty much. 😉

I can relate. Y’know, I had a few of those myself that got tossed for one reason and another.
1. Great Pork Recipes for Ramadan.
2. Democrats are People, Too.
3. Senator Ted’s Top Ten Driving Tips.
4. Pelosi, Fact or Fiction?
LOL Ham, I like these titles. In fact, I may have had one very similar to #2. But #4 really slayed me. Oh please do that one. 😆

Ooh, you got me again WC – I came here with a different agenda (to get a permalink to another post) and got a smile in the process. 🙂 I’m going to have to stop coming here late at night – I have to stop laughing so I can sleep!
Hey Ruby,
We all can use more laughs, don’t you think? Glad it gave you the chuckles – maybe you’ll have a funny dream. 😉

I agree with Simonne, I love number five, too! 😀
There are a lot of things I could have posted about, but for whatever reason haven’t. Most of the time it was because I just forgot but it, so if I had given it an even slightly interesting name I’ve completely forgotten.
On a completely different note, I read “Anthem” not too horribly long ago and loved it! I’ll have to look into some of her other books now.
You’re right, Ayn Rand’s work is something you can sink your teeth into.

Hmmm, I will have to think about it then. Maybe a parody of a song…???
Yay! You are now hooked on Ayn Rand. She is/was amazing. I can’t wait til you read the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. 🙂
