Passion!

In a recent discussion with a friend, it was suggested to me to write about what I am passionate.  I think for most people that this question is somewhat easily answered, at least on a superficial level.  "I love video games!"  "I love music!"  "I love my job!"  All are very appropriate answers to the question.  However, I am never so simple.  "What am I passionate about?" I asked him.  Because I truly haven't a clue. 

I'm not sure there is anything that I feel so strongly about that I would call the emotion passion.  For example, I'm a graphic designer currently, and whereas I enjoy it, I don't know that I'm "passionate" about it.  There are definitely things within the design community that I feel passion for.  I love typography and happen to be a type purist.  When I'm working with type, I try not to alter the type too dramatically if at all, and it urks me when I see my favorite font twisted into a former shell of it's beauty by some ignorant or egotistic designer.  I am very interested in information design and get angered when the design of a piece hinders it's communication - because for me, that is what design is about - communication.  Even though I have strong opinions on these subjects, I don't know that I have it in me to write about them.  Or at least not enough to give voice to it in blog form.  Perhaps an essay here and there...but a blog?  Nah. 

I suppose you could say I'm passionate for video games as well.  I mean while, I was in school I designed a whole magazine targeted to women gamers.  Then again, I don't feel like writing about it. I just don't care that much.

The only thing that I can think of that I might be passionate enough to write about would be music...but do I really?  Is there enough in me to warrant a blog on music?  Do I have anything to add really to what's already written about music?  Sadly, I don't think I do.  And even if I did, what I would write about would be for such a niche audience that I don't even know that it would be worth my time.  Especially, since I don't know nearly as much as the experts (self-proclaimed or otherwise). 

I'm not sure where any of this leaves me though.  I'm back at square one, wondering what I'm passionate about, and what I should focus my blog on.  Writing this has given me a few inklings of ideas, but I doubt this blog will be focused on any specific aspect. 

Perhaps I'm just passionate about writing...the way words work together...  Or maybe I'm just boring. ;)  That is always a definite possibility.
