experiment

remember back when all of us bloggers used to update daily? back in the day before our thoughts and attention spans were shortened to 160 character limits, back before internet self-censorship kicked in and we all started being scared about what audiences were really out there and oh my god what did they think of us? where we could ramble about anything from what we ate for breakfast to the deepest darkest secrets that eventually became so humiliating once they have seen the light of day by all your friends and colleagues, forcing you to delete every precious word good and bad, all of it gone goodbye no more. ahh the good ol' days of blogging.

so yeah i'm sort of interested in getting back into writing. unfortunately i don't have any bright ideas that don't include anything so enormous that i won't even begin them. i should probably start small, so as to not waste any effort should i lose interest or turns out i suck really bad. i think sucking is okay at first - you have to make mistakes in order to learn, right? i figure this blog isn't that formal so therefore the pressure is lessened to be presentable or have any specific point whatsoever. it will serve as a place to stretch my legs, somewhere i can make lots of errors again and again until the possibly of/if any writing success occurs.

i think i need topics to write on though. suggestions are welcome. what the hell did i used to write about before it dissolved into whiny angsty bullshit about this person or that person or this situation or that situation? what's that now? i've always written about that? and i still have readers? oh nevermind, there's no one here - i'm talking to myself. okay self, so it's 1:30am and you meant to go to sleep before midnight. i highly suggest you get your ass into bed and we'll discuss this in the morning.

Some of us still update daily! And those of us that do still appreciate when other back in the day-ers find time to update, even if it's not daily.

A few suggestions, pray forgive the presumption.

{a} The struggle for co-existence 'twixt bicycle riders & automobile drivers.

{b} The experience of not living in your hometown.

{c} The social consequences if murder was no longer illegal in Reno, Nevada. Would murderers who lured their victims there be open to prosecution back home?

{d} The rivalry 'twixt the Chrysler Building & the Empire State Building.

{e} People-watching.

I am glad you are planning on / in the process of getting back into writing.

I am in the same boat -- but lately I have also been too busy to dedicate the time (that I once had) to doing so.

I do plan to get back into reading blogs as I once did; I always liked it, because, let's face it -- email as a way of keeping up with friends has long since gone the way of junk-mail.
