Why can't I blog?

Ladies and Gentlemen of the not so popular wowbob blog. I'm pretty sure no one reads this blog, but if for some reason you do, please attempt to respond at some point to something I post. This will let me know what you'd like to read here in wowbob world. Today we'll be talking about several different things.....So let's get started.....

Bobpally is now level 74 and counting. I'm a little slow with his leveling, but with good reason. I'll give all of you new to Northrend some good advice: Borean Tundra has 150 quests, do them all before moving on, and run The Nexus at least once to get those quests done as well. If you do all of this you'll be almost 74 before you ever leave the first leveling area in Northrend. The next questing zone will put you where I am now, which is Dragon's Blight. I really like this area as it's fun, and has cool stuff to look at. Being that I spent so much time leveling in Borean Tundra the quests in DB are somewhat easy. I'm leveling Bobpally as protection spec. Why you ask? Because it's alot of fun, plus I like to tank the instances as I level up to run them. Bobpally does have a conundrum before him. Perhaps my one blog reader can help me out...

I don't know that this is that much of an issue right now, but eventually I want to run the endgame content and in my current guild (which I'm the second highest ranking member) we have only three members. I can do one of two things. 1. I can wait until I'm level 80, recruit other level 80s and basically play GM to a guild that really isn't mine. 2. I can find another guild now (I constantly get offers from people I run with) and level with them to eventually run the end game stuff. What I really want is to be raid leader to tank and run the raids. This would afford me the control that I like to use to keep down the drama. I'm very stringent when I run my dungeons as leader. I don't take crap and certainly don't give it. So each of my options has high points and low points.

If I am to recruit at level 80 to get other raiders, I'd have to provide a vent server more than likely and I'd also have to baby sit constantly. The best thing about recruiting is I'd get to control everything from start to finish. I would get to setup raid times, raid nights, and the players that were going. I'd also get to run the raids and make sure everything was fair to everyone that played. It would be my rules for my runs on my time. I like that idea quite a bit.

If I were to join another guild and be a tank for that guild, I'd have to adhear to someone else's rules and time constraints. This is not how I like to do things but it does have it's advantages.
I wouldn't have to provide a vent server, I wouldn't have to put up with any of the crying that fellow guildies did in the runs, or after the runs. I wouldn't have to take the time to setup raids and make sure people signed up for them. I wouldn't have to listen to anyone's problems about anything period.

So the big question becomes, what should I choose? If you are the lone person reading my blog, please respond and let me know what you think.....
