starting in second gear

why bother with first?

It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

Talk about Something Different, Dammit!

This is what I keep telling myself. Every time I go to the nifty "create post" area, I try to think of something else to write about. Not writing. Not school. Not headaches, or whining, or panic. And my mind goes blank. How pathetic is that? There just doesn't seem to be anything else right now.

I could write about another walk with my dog in the unseasonably warm weather this week. I could write about hauling scrap lumber down our yard to the firepit, and spending the afternoon presiding over a blazing bonfire all by myself. I could write about any of the movies I watched this weekend (and there were a lot).

But maybe I should just face facts. My life is boring right now. One-dimensional. Hopefully soon I will have something else to blog about. But right now its not looking good.

PS - this does not count as whining. Them's just the facts.
