Well, the first question is probably going to be "why not write about any of the topics you mentioned last time?" Well, because no one reads this anyway, so who cares? And in response to "Always Smiling," well, go be bored somewhere else.
I've recently started watching the Kevin Smith movies again. Not sure why, really. I went to see clerks 2 with a friend and really fell back in love with the characters. My personal favorite, however, has always been Silent Bob.
Not only is he a bigger fella (a characteristic I can relate to more and more as the years go by), but he only speaks when he needs to, which is a trait I have always admired in people. As an established motormouth, I've grown used to people ignoring me and tuning me out because they assume that what I say isn't very important. And I do have to admit, quantity certainly does seem to lessen quality.
I've always thought of the silent people as the truly wise ones, because they, more than anyone else, seem to realize the true valuelessness of words. Sure, words can be useful, when used correctly, but more times than not they merely complicate the situation by adding misunderstanding to disagreement.
I've often thought of going silent, only speaking when asked or when it's important, but I can't (and yes, I do see the humor in my discussing this topic on my blog). I wish I could be though. Because I like thought of people thinking back and remembering me for the important stuff I had to say, rather than the worthless and forgettable rabble that I spend most of my time dispensing.

Silent Bob is the man, as is his real life counter part. I'm so glad you like clerks 2 and I realy appreciate you going with me even though you had little to no desire to see said movie. people do listen to you , and I for one enjoy the banter on the topic of the week, but hell what do i know , I am a blabber mouth too.
"ramblers lets get rabbling"
Yes, I would do that, but I find your blogs to be most inspirational and very amusing.So I'm afraid your stuck with my random comments and apologize if they come off to be a wee bit rude.(I still say D had the most potential.)
Anyways...I also find Silent Bob to be quite the character, but mostly because he seems like a cool guy to hang out with. Also he has this stare that just cracks me up. Kinda reminds me of you, I mean minus all the talking of course. Which isn't really a bad thing saying most of the time I do I find it to be very interesting.
P.S. You deleted my last comment...tisk tisk..
I suppose you could take that route, only speaking when you have something very important to say, but that would then rob you of your most defining characteristic: your wit. Witty remarks are (IMHO) your trademark. I think I'd rather have a friend that could make me laugh then one who only talked when I was too stupid to read the sign on the back of the van.
