Weblog return
OK, so a few people read my weblog. And a few have e-mailed/called/messaged/spammed me to ask what happened to it. Your persistence paid off, because it's back now. I don't think I should take it down again, because I've always hated it when people kill their Web sites due to Sheer Angst.Why did I take it down? I won't go into all of it, but one of the contributing factors is that I've been going through some weird version of writer's block -- a kind that only affects my personal writing, though. I'm not sure what it is, really. Part of it is the realization that I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing. Don't take me wrong; I'm not the depressed suicidal type, and I never have been. It's not a new feeling, but it's just a quiet voice that's gotten a bit louder over the past couple of months.
It's not job-related and it's not friends-related, but maybe it is career-related and long-term-future-related. The last couple of birthdays have been very uneventful and almost nonexistent, and I don't see this next one being any different. But it means I'll be another year older, and I should be another year closer to the whole "permanent career, permanent family" thing, and I'm far from it. I don't mind that, but I do sometimes feel detached and isolated while I live in my own, solo world.
At any rate, the blog is back, and I don't see it leaving again in the near future. Thanks for asking about it, and please feel free to make comments -- here, or through e-mail.
Oh, and what was it that finally made me bring the weblog back? It was Tom, who rules a lot and made me laugh so hard I nearly choked on my coffee.
