Need Sleep

Maybe I should get back to blogging. I miss the outlet. However, the anonymity is not longer there. People recognize my writing. Then I have to put up with anyone and everyone's questions as if my life is a walking advertisement.

Who knows? Maybe, I don't care though. Since when did I start caring if someone recognizes me? My only concern is that I need some personal space these days. I understand that people just want to be involved in my life, and I appreciate that. I just need a life to call my own. I despise useless criticism and self-serving snap judgments on everything I do. I need room to breathe a little. People gotta stop taking the Internetz so damn seriously.

That's all for now folks. Peace out.

Late Night

It's kind of funny to realize that these days I consider staying up until eleven o'clock at night to be "up late." Just a year ago, I sometimes couldn't force myself to fall asleep before dawn. What can I say? The body adjusts.

Anyway, I'm happy that I have some steady money flowing in now instead of having to fight and scrounge for peanuts by either doing teaching gigs or digging up contract work. I guess it's a fair trade. Steady money, early bedtime. Not bad in my book.

Well anyway, that's all for now. Gotta get some winks. Peace out.

Back to the Blogosphere...Maybe

I've been thinking about getting back into blogging, but I haven't quite decided whether or not it's worth it. It's easy to get caught up in the fervor of it. Plus, everyone blogs these days. I used to blog a lot a few years ago (going all the way back to Xanga and those crappy AOL chat blogs circa 2000) when posting was still a novelty, but now the mystique is gone. However, I definitely admire people who can keep up with it. Lord knows, I lose interest way too quickly. I can't even begin to tell you how many blogs I've kept up, then deleted, then restarted, then forgot about, then started new ones, etc.

Still though, I miss the immediacy of the outlet. I can't deny that it was fun. I'm still surprised that I met so many interesting people, when from that the start that was definitely not the intention. Lately though, I just feel like I've been trying to detach myself from Internet access. It seems so easy to take the blogosphere and the Internet itself for granted. When I was dead broke in the not-so-distant-past, I felt like I had been cut off from some sort of communicative oxygen, so to speak, when I couldn't afford an DSL hookup. That whole experience just seemed odd to me, and it helped me put things in perspective.

Well, anyway, right now I'm only contemplating getting back into blogging. I haven't decided whether or not I'll make this a regular thing. I guess we'll see.

Thanks all for now. Peace out.
