Things have been kinda busy lately and next thing you know, I have not said a thing here for almost a week. My work schedule has been pretty focused lately on getting some larger projects done which have taken energy and commitment. But there is no real excuse for not blogging. I read over on Dan York’s weblog that he’s been blogging for 6 years now including a bunch of time over on Advogato. Its interesting that many people started there by keeping a diary and notating it daily if not more. At Advogato, I published thoughts until around 2002. Here is some of it for jokes and grins. I started moving away from Advogato and started playing with Manila hosting for awhile, then did MovableType, back to this and that, then to Wordpress for a long stretch. I also worked over at Technorati for a spell and learned that blogging was kewl and links were king. Perhaps I wanted to be “authoritative” so I blogged at typepad for awhile. But being authoritative was boring because I ran out of really interesting, provocative, and useful things to say. Then I discovered the true worth of blogging is not tagging, linking, being authoritative on a subject or topic. No, fellow virtual travelers. Its none of those things. Its the act of doing it that matters. All the linking engines in the world and all the great clued-in authority figures will never sway the person that does not write.
But over the past mini-dry spell, I wondered what prompted me to continue to blog. Its easy sometimes to just not do it and you can travel the roads and highways of life and not do it. For me, after the requisite period of time, I miss it. Its like a thing I truly enjoy is gone or there is the 5 pound chicken and 10 pound egg syndrome. I want to write so much that I cannot pass it. Its a blogstone for heaven’s sake! And it f**king hurts. Man. I am pain sometimes because the thoughts swirl all around and I just cannot find the time.
Perhaps I’ll be able to blog more often now. Time will tell
