Future of the Watercooler #13

For the past couple months I have had a unique opportunity to talk about the world around me through the lens of a watercooler.  There is not much discussion that is out of bounds and I think that is part of the allure.  I love sharing my thoughts on sports, food and culture around the nations capital and I must admit expressing some of these thoughts helps me sleep better at night.  However, as rewarding as blogging is, I now understand the greatest challenge: staying current.  In a 24-hour news cycle, everyone is jumping for the latest scoop on the street leaving little wiggle room for those bloggers who aren’t in the loop to keep up.  Blogging, I have found is a full-time job.  Granted, I know a lot of people who juggle a blog with their other duties and hobbies, but I now understand why people troll the web day and night looking for content. 

This is not to say I am giving up on blogging — because to be honest — I am having too much fun ranting and raving about the world around me.  So stay tuned for more musings from the watercooler.  But I am going to have to figure out a more defined direction for the watercooler going forward.  After all, there is something therapeutic about having the ability to talk through issues in a more casual environment.  A famous person once said, “The mind a terrible thing to waste.”  Well given how far I have come since January, I would hate to waste the opportunity to share my experiences with people and maybe learn a little about myself and the world around me along the way.
