Duh. A friend asked me to help her with a piece she is writing on independent minyanim. I started referring her to various blogs in the Jewish Blogosphere and their recent posts on the subject. Then I asked, "Do you read blogs in the J-Blogosphere?" She responded, "Now I do. It's my job." And I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice to get paid for all of this expertise, instead of having acquired it because I don't have a life?"
NOTE: This post is a joke. It is NOT an extension of my previous post about being lonely.

Don't they have a template for that? Write about how young Jews don't want to be "affiliated" anymore, state that independent minyanim are a 10 year old phenomenon, interview Elie Kaunfer, interview Jonathan Sarna (with apologies to the person who picked up on the pattern), don't let any facts get in your way.
elf's DH: 1) You only know about the template because you don't have a life either; 2) Here's your chance: What facts do you think are missing from the independent minyanim article?
I used to blog about videogames for 8 years. I loved it but it quickly became real hardwork. My blog was picked up by the Seattle PI and the AP Press newslines and I had to deal with PR people. I mean we love hobbies and I am proud of it but man it did get tough.
As a future convert (There is no Rabbi in my town so I can't easily convert) it gets me when they are one Jew away from the minyam and I don't count.
