Where the Mind Sprocket staff writes about inspiration, communication, culture, storytelling, and more.

The Back Page is where the feet go up on the desk at the end of the day. It’s that good book with a mug of hot cocoa just before bed. It’s where we goof off after a hard day’s work. The Back Page is our blog.

You’ve probably noticed that we aren’t the kind of blog that references a lot of funny or even informative videos. I’ve been wondering about this, because online videos sure can be fun to watch, but I never go out of my way to watch them. I only watch them when they are sent to me or watched by other people in my presence and then I can’t help but watch too.

What do you think? Online videos: persistent, annoying, everywhere; or funny, useful, and informative? If we posted or linked to them, would you watch them? Or would that make us like every other blog around?

There are times when I try so hard to not be like everyone else, or to do what everyone else is doing, that I miss out on a lot. This might be one of those times, but I’m not sure.

Not what you want it to be.
Is it ever what you expected?
No, probably not.
Are you okay with that?
Are we meant to create truth or
Are we meant to find it?
