Assuming I have any, long term readers will probably have noticed that they can’t really predict what they are going to find here on any given day . I like to vary my subjects, and basically write about whatever takes my fancy. Over the years this has lead to me writing about all sorts of things, from what I did the previous evening to my political opinions to Olympic ceremonies. That is the way I like it. Yet I recently came across a phenomenon in blogging which rather puzzled me: a newly established blog, kept by a friend of mine, just about a specific subject, in this case food.

The writer of the blog is an intelligent guy with cp who I have known for a while. He is interested in all kinds of things, just like anyone else. To be honest he has never struck me as a particularly culinary kind of guy. Of course, he can do what he wants with his blog, yet it really puzzles me why anyone would limit themselves creatively like this. I don’t think I could abide having to stick to one subject, every time I wanted to blog. After all, it’s my primary way of expressing myself, and that includes questioning other bloggers creative choices.
