Hi.
So I revamped my blog roughly a month and half ago because I had a sudden spark of ambition and creativity, something I hadn't had in literally months. At the time I had about six new ideas for recurring content, one of which I already made happen a few weeks ago (making fun of the Sunday comics. The idea where I post my tweets is just laziness, but it certainly helps reassure me that my they aren't being lost forever once I write them. Oh my god would that ever be a tragedy).
But what I really wanted to do with this blog was to just start writing shit out, even if I didn't have any real ideas. Uncategorized Ramblings was going to be the place where I vent, write out what's nagging my mind, complain for the umpteenth time about how I can't seem to get an interview, let alone hired, without unfairly and constantly bugging Erika, etc. etc. etc. etc. ETC. ETC. ETC. etc. etc. ETC.
But I haven't really done that yet. I keep thinking about doing it, constantly, so I hope ONCE AGAIN to fix this by getting my ass in gear and writing more. I have a lot on my mind lately so this really shouldn't be a problem.
BUT IT IS. FUCK.
Oh well. On Sunday I'll round up another batch of shitty comics to make fun of. I didn't do it last Sunday because a friend was in town, so it wasn't due to lack of interest. THIS IS WHAT I KEEP TELLING MYSELF.
I also want to start doing tongue-in-cheek album reviews of the awful music I like to listen to, but not only do I feel like no one will care (does anyone reading this listen to Frank Zappa? Exactly), but I have no real clue on how to write about music intelligently. So my plan was to write about it unintelligently. I might still do that. We'll see.
Above all, if you're reading this I greatly appreciate it. If you like what I do then leave me comments. I like comments. They're always encouraging, and whether that's a good thing or not, well...jury's still out on that one.
see now you're making a post about not making posts so that there is an illusion of more posts! I know this because I do it too. Sometimes in my diary I'll be like "uhhh so yeah I have writers block and nothing to talk about" and go on and on saying that very thing in fifteen different ways.

Daaaamn, called out and caught red-handed! You're right, though, writing about whining about writing does nothing but pad the blog out with filler. I'll keep that shit in check because I know nobody wants to read it. Hell, I wouldn't want to either.
DeleteLol it makes you more human and relatable. Kind of like how we're both unemployed with physics/astrophysics degrees.
