It must be hard for a professional blogger like Robert Scoble.  Working fairly flexible hours, getting to write about, shoot video about, and otherwise co-mingle and hob-nob in, a field you love, all the while getting paid for it.  Now, I’m trying not to sound as cranky, cantankerous, jaded and jaundiced, as I probably do, but I’m failing.  Robert Scoble is taking another break from blogging because he’s gotten disillusioned from the seeming triviality of it all.

Well, boo freakin’ hoo.

I think that its up to all of us to find meaning in whatever industry, field, or way of life we happen to participate in.  For some of us, its easy to do, and for others a little harder.  Professional blogging is no different.  You have to acknowledge there are going to be times when you’ll be dealing with the unimportant, the seemingly trivial, and its up to you (and all of us, really, in whatever we do), to remind ourselves of why we’re doing what we’re doing in the first place.

And if you’ve forgotten or can’t remember why its important, maybe — *maybe* — you should stop and ask yourself why you’re doing it in the first place.

Now, perhaps Robert *is* doing this in favour of some other endeavor, but the cynic in me says that this “break” will probably be like a few others he’s taken over the past few years, in that it will last a few days, and where he’ll be back blogging before we all know it.
