I know I haven't been very good at keeping this blog updated. But I have a good reason.
Well, actually, I don't. But I don't need one. A blog is a voluntary thing, right?
I think I'm supposed to say "Yes!" to that, but in reality, I feel a sort of obligation to write more regularly than I have. If not for your enjoyment, then for my own retro-spection.
About once every week or two, I look at my old blog posts from the previous year(s). This is a sort of ritual for me, a touching-base with my own past to get an idea where I am, and where I've come from. But if you look at my blog, it isn't "Dear Diary" crap that I'm talking about. Sometimes it's theological or philosophical musings, sure, but more frequently it's this or that funny experience that lets me reminisce. Besides which, I feel the need to "tell" about the humorous.
So what does the notable absence of posts suggest? I guess there's a few options.... funny things are happening to me less, I'm finding some other outlet to tell those stories, or I've forgotten how to tell about the funny things that happen. I'd say that maybe I've lost my sense of humor, but my friends would mock me incessantly.
Why am I telling you this? I don't know. I don't really care if anyone reads this, either. I just needed to tell it. Maybe in saying something about my writer's block I can at least chip away at it.
