Atypical blog or a typical blog?

So I've looked at a few other blogs, trying to figure out how this blogging thing is supposed to work, and it seems as though each blog is centered around a thought or a main idea. I guess that's what makes them interesting, right? I mean, who would read a blog that simply recounted the events of the day?

"Today I woke up. Then I had cereal for breakfast. Then I called to see if I'm supposed to work today. Then I sat on my butt blogging about nothing..."

No, no. No one wants to read that. At least, not about my life. I mean, big deal events, yes. Birth, death, marriage, etc. But I think most people want to read something that makes them think. Blogging (or writing in general) is a creative outlet, meant to be centered around original ideas, much like painting or composing music. So I guess from now on I'll probably try to think of something witty to talk to myself about (since I actually don't have any followers...yet).
