Okay, so I said I was going to post more, and then didn't post for over a year. Hey, what can I say... I'm a busy guy.
Okay, that's not really true, I just didn't have anything to say.
That's not really true either. Any one who knows me knows I generally have quite a bit to say. I guess I just didn't think to say it on this blog, and then when I thought about posting something here I had forgot my password and didn't bother to find it out.
That one is true.
So. Now I know my password, I have put it in a place I can access it (so no excuses there anymore) and I have something to say.
I don't really have anything important to say but I figure I want to do more writing and if I can post here more often (which shouldn't be a difficult task) I should be able to do more writing. Judging by my previous attempts at posting on my blogs (yes, I have more than one that I rarely update), I wouldn't hold my breath.
That being said, as one philosopher put it, "thousand miles to be traveled, start with foot (placed) down". - Laozi (c 604 BC - c 531 BC)
I know, many of you are thinking "Doesn't he mean 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step' by Confucius?" And yes, I did mean that, but with a little research I discovered it was written by Laozi, a contemporary of Confucius, and is more correctly translated to "thousand miles to be traveled, start with foot (placed) down".
I like the Laozi version. It sounds more poetic.
This brings me to my next point. When I say "many of you..." I actually mean "all of you..." because there are actually "none of you..."
Nobody reads this blog but me, and even then, only when I am writing it. My mom doesn't even read it. Now, to be fair, I have never asked her to read it, and though she is very internet savvy (especially for a 75 year old woman) I don't think she would even think to look for a 'blog' written by her son. And as for the rest of you (this time I mean everyone who isn't me) I haven't really put it out there that this blog exists. I guess I am saying I begrudge none of you (again, I mean those that aren't me) and have only myself to blame for people not reading what I have or have not written. I guess I can't really blame anyone, including me, for not reading what I haven't written. That would be just plain crazy.
Now, if you are you (meaning not me) and reading this... Thank you, you are probably the first (who is not me)! And even if you are not the first, you are probably the second or third and thank you also. Right now you three people are probably thinking "Wow, he wasn't kidding when he said he didn't have anything important to say..." but you've made it this far, so you may as well read through to the end.
And now, the end. I originally started out with the idea of giving some sort of update as to what I've been doing and where I'm headed. Seeing though, as I have already blathered on enough and you guys are getting bored (this time I mean me and yes, even I'm getting bored of what I'm writing, so 'Hats Off' to the three of you for sticking it out to this point) I will save the updates for a future post.
Until then, and hopefully it will be sooner rather than later, keep the glass half full!
End!
