Its kind of like how i decide if a joke is generic or personal. If its generic, then anybody could invent it, like about traffic or weather or something. If its personal, then only i could invent it. Even so, this is probably on a continuum. My better or more successful jokes are usually more personal.
So, like take world events. I dont feel like i need to talk to t about every earthquake around the world. But if i find myself really reacting to THIS earthquake, or like the Detroit Lions N. Suh blatantly stomping on Aaron Rogers this past Sunday, then even though its about world events, it is more towards the personal end of the continuum - today i did talk about bullies in my family, but not Suh. So it kind of influenced my focus.
