I could blame my lack of production blogwise on the heat, a heavy work load, even getting lost in the keys, it's no excuse though. Even with my new laptop unlike before when I would sit up and write until I fell asleep(or watch porn, it was a toss up but writing usually got done too) I have not gotten myself fully back into that habit yet. It's sad but especially as of late I won't say I have commitment issues I will say my stick to it tiveness is at an all time low. I mean yes I have followed through on some things and yes, I am sure if I check I am well over 120 posts to this here blog. I also know that a good portion of those 120 posts came in may when I was a blogging fool(it happens when it happens), part of it inspired by the fact that thanks to that Tornado/severe thunderstorm that rolled through we had no power so the only thing I could do was blog to clear my head. No power meant no video games, no facebook, the barest of human interaction because in essence I was cut off from the digital world.
Every little happenstance became a reason for me to write, cause for me to look back later and either laugh or shake my head. Hell I even have stopped writing my movie reviews(mainly because I am so far behind), I have seen Green Lantern, X-men:First class, Transformers, and Captain America now(I didn't get a chance to peep HP7 pt2 yet, but I will) done a few trailers posts for them, but as far as reviews go NADA. I actually have this long one written for X-men that I want to break up into a smaller piece but well at the moment my brain just isn't fitting the pieces together in a way that I'm liking. While in the book I read a few weeks ago it mentions how "talking politics on a blog was a death knell", I happen to like talking about politics sometimes and personally the best thing about a blog or website that you produce the content for: You can do it your way. So yes my political views may scare some folks off but hey, if you disagree be brave enough to say it with your keyboard. I may moderate you out of here if you are off topic(my content is diverse enough that you could probably find SOMETHING that you can speak on without hijacking a post) too much but I'm not so heartless as to say "You disagree with me so you have to go".
No one can have a healthy debate with another if they aren't willing to face the fact that there are not only more than just THEIR path to the finish line, but that also information that they read can be interpreted entirely differently than they perceive or expected. While I don't believe in flame or bait posts I do believe in (when I can get out of my rut) a healthy conversation(even if its between two passionate people) between two folks that can end with either a consensus or at least an understanding of this is how I feel. I know there are times when I can become somewhat maniacal in my expression of my viewpoint, jabbing at my opponent in ways that if seen folks might see as dirty pool, but since they are quick and decisive most folks don't even notice.
Whoops I feel a topic diverting tangent coming on, lets head that off now
The most important thing someone who wishes to write can do is write, I keep telling a very good friend of mine this on a regular. "Even if you don't post it, even if you never let anyone read it just write to get it out of your head". Guess who hasn't been doing that yup yours truly. There are no excuses either, I can sit down like I am doing just hit the keys and let it all flow out sometimes I mentally get started and just never finish hell this one was started last night. I have an excuse though after that long drive back from Tuckerman I was kinda bushed played a little Halo: Reach started typing felt myself get up and just crashed on the bed.(Dying laughing at my brothers arguing over who was or wasn't gonna kill who in Naruto Shippuuden UNS2) Anyway this was just a quick shot so afternoon, happy humpday Thanks for stopping by
Cant wait til the bug bites u again until then im back tracking to see what I missed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Budda, it comes and it goes for once I'm actually mad at myself for not being able to keep the run together. But this heat and a busy schedule means that by the time I get home I pass out once I wind down. I'm definitely working on it though.
ReplyDeleteTaking some of your advice bro...I truly understand were your coming from with this one...I miss writing so that's what I'm going to start back doing...
