Prolonged Absences

This is probably the longest I’ve gone without posting since I began blogging here a year ago.

There’s been a variety of reasons – new job, (not)relationship, tragedy, illness, travel, writing elsewhere, Twitter (though I’ve not been Tweeting much either in recent weeks) and general apathy.

But the biggest reason is that I have no idea what I want to say. I gave myself a year to figure out what I wanted this blog to be about. During that time I was going to write everything. While I didn’t go quite that far, I did write about a fair range of “me” with varying success.

One day I wrote something politically motivated, the next I was bitching about my illness or latest relationship debacle. All of this is intensely interesting to me, as is writing about it now. All of this is part of me, but that’s far less interesting for anyone else.

It turns out it’s a blog about nothing. And I fucking hated Seinfeld.

The solution is, for now, some self-censorship. I’ll probably write less, but write less crap. There is a seed of an idea for a new “single-subject” blog, but it’s still in gestation.

I’ll be here for a little while yet. Next: Twitter and the Hagakure. Fascinating. To me anyway.
