To blog or not to blog
That IS the question. So I have this thing in me, this desire, to not be the guy who says he’ll do something and then doesn’t. One reason I hate this so much is that, in fact, I am that guy sometimes. Whether it’s an illusion or a reality, I feel like I am a pretty busy guy. However, I am also a pretty visionary guy—I tend to think up new things to do all the time. Those two traits, I have found, don’t mix that well.
Sometimes I find myself starting things and not finishing them. OK. Not sometimes. Let’s say, a good deal more often than that. Like the book I want to write that has all the chapter titles on a file on my computer. Or the other book, with the same thing. Or the articles I’m reading through (and haven’t touched in a week) trying to teach myself how to code for iPhone apps. Or the basement I said I would clean over Christmas break. Or the Christmas lights hanging outside on my house still!!! (It’s ok though, I do live in Elkton.) Or the car with the dead battery in my driveway that’s been there…well, as long as the basement has been dirty.
Yeah, the list goes on. Now, granted, we did just have a new baby. But for some reason, I just seem to never have enough time to do all I want to do. So then I end up doing things that need to get done on deadlines and forgetting the rest.
And that is why I balk at starting to blog again. Really. I know the masses are begging for it (ok, four people) but I sincerely doubt my ability to sustain it. I will get busy. New projects will emerge. I will run out of interesting things to say about myself (ok that’s not true, but the first two are!).
So here we go again, the roller coaster of blogging. Not sure if anyone will even read these for fear of being disappointed by my inability to remain consistent. But we shall see. Now that I’ve written this . . . the basement?
