So, The day I started this Blog in the morning I was doing pretty good then all of a sudden I was for no apparent reason  struck with a strong case of boredom, so I went to look up articles on boredom and came across this one:

Boredom is good for you, study claims

7 May 2011:

Being bored can motivate people to 'engage in prosocial tasks and encourage more meaningful behaviour'

Now if don't want to read the whole thing here is a little excerpt:

"Boredom makes people long for different and purposeful activities, and as a result they turn towards more challenging and meaningful activities, turning towards what they perceive to be really meaningful in life," said Van Tilburg.


My question is if this is true then why as I did the other day retreat into a TV coma. I am pretty sure I don't find Television to be meaningful at all, actually I know I don't.

So the question is when you are bored do you find meaningful things to do? and then if you do meaningful things then are you actually bored??????

The Daily Splat was created one morning after attempting to find just some individual blogs with  some opinions  and musings, something that stirs the thought process.  As I searched I noticed that the results were titles such as “How to blog for profit”, “What you should do to have a profitable blog”, “What niche should you pick for your blog”..Etc.  And with anything that becomes marketable or capitalized on for profit, so comes the rules and framework of how to do things. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with people making money with their blogs, I do it myself, but this morning as I was viewing all the do’s and don’ts of having a great blog, I had the overwhelming urge to, break the rules, I didn’t want to pick a niche or topic, I didn’t what to have an agenda, I didn’t want to worry about getting on the 1^st page of Google and basically I didn’t want to be hemmed in by a particular topic or agenda. 

Like throwing or flicking paint on a canvas I wanted to be able to throw anything on my blog. … A news story…..Splat……An opinion….Splat…..About my dog…Splat…..about working at home…..Splat…all random, with no agenda and no particular reason…it just is!!  So welcome to splat I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave your own comments or splat.   Thanks Donna
