You’ve Got to Start Some Time

It’s been a long time since I’ve sat down to write.  So long, in fact, that I just noticed my 2020 blog notebook is empty, even though it’s already September.  There are a lot of reasons for this, and they all boil down to “I haven’t made time”.  When I look back to when I was writing regularly (not just the scattered posts of last summer) and further back to when I was posting regularly, I have to ask myself what the difference is.  Then, I laugh, because there are a lot of differences.

There is, of course, that the world is different now.

Switching to Irregular Updates

It’s been a week and a half since my last post, and here I am again with a post about the blog.  I haven’t really been prioritizing my writing as much as I have in the past, mostly because I have other things I’m spending that time on for now.  As I mentioned before, it’s not for lack of things to write about, but I’ve decided that it’s just not my top priority any longer.  So, rather than feel bad about not posting regularly, I’m changing my setup to irregular updates for the time being.

I’m not shutting down my blog, and I’m not going away, I’m just planning on writing less often, and am not going to promise a regular schedule.  Once I figure out my new patterns, I’ll probably get back to writing at least at some regularity, but, for now, expect only irregular updates when I really want to write.  I’ll likely update my resolutions on the right for those that are really observant, mostly because that’s less effort than a full post (and also it helps keep me on track), so if you’re curious, you can always stop in and check that.

Until next time – Have Fun!

Dedication to the Job

Alasdair Stuart said something quite poignant at the end of Escape Pod 391 (that I just listened to the other day), and it really resonated with me.  It made me think about my job, and why I show up every morning at 7:00 and leave at 4:30, or 5:00, or 6:00 without a single word that my job is draining the life from me…  …Because it’s not.

Here’s Alasdair’s snippet: Continue reading Dedication to the Job →

Dream: A Star Trek Thanksgiving

I dreamt it was Thanksgiving and I was watching my favorite Thanksgiving movie, called “Freyja”.  It was the story of a pair of brothers (neither of who’s name I remember): The younger one (played by Jonathan Frakes) had grown up pampered by his parents, but was outgoing.  He waged war to put food on his parent’s table, and it was plentiful.  He wore a black star-trek uniform, but a red cape.  The older one (Patrick Stewart) was wise but reserved.  He had been a diplomat that had brokered peace between the two warring factions, and, in doing so, had put his brother out of work.

Seven Days, Seven Photos

A while back, I noticed a couple of my friends posting black and white pictures about their life.  It was part of a meme to do just that, and, of course, to challenge someone else to do the same every day for seven days.  While I’m not a huge fan of memes, the idea itself sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a shot.

The following is a collection of those pictures: Continue reading Seven Days, Seven Photos →
