maintaining radio silence, more or less
I imagine all you readers out there clamoring for my lastest thoughts and feelings on the world at large, all three or four of you, are probably pretty disappointed at my output lately. You know what, I’m not thrilled about it either. However, I’m not sure when or if things are going to change, at least in the near term.
I mean, I hope they’ll change, and I can get back to writing things of great weight, profundity, and import some day soon. However, my life being what it is at the moment, things are falling by the wayside, and the blog, being almost entirely frivilous, is one of the most easily set aside while life and work and lots and lots of driving get in the way.
Sadly, that’s what’s been happening. When I do have a moment for me (which is not often at all), I’ve been spending it catching my breath, or doing something escapist that requiring very little heavy mental lifting (this has been mostly catching up on old tv shows on Netflix). Most of my free processing cycles are dedicated to figuring out what I do for a living now, and getting to a point where doing that won’t require so many hours a day sitting in the car listening to audiobooks and (usually) silently cursing the inattentiveness of my fellow motorists. What most of those cycles aren’t involved with is reading things on the internet to react to – I don’t have that kind of time, plus I spend all day staring at a computer screen as it is, and the thought of doing so off the clock is wearying to me at the moment.
That said, I do enjoy this outlet quite a lot – I really want to keep filling this space with interesting things. I just may be doing it a little more slowly from here on out.
