Okay, I have been thinking a lot about
this recently, and after some deliberation I decided that perhaps I
should make a second attempt. Fans of this blog, well okay, I will
not say there are fans, more like people that happened to bump into
this page on more than one occasion will remember that a about three
years ago I tried embarking on a quest of sorts, to post at least one
blog a day. That process was both good and bad, good in the sense
that the only way I really get better at writing is by doing it, even
if I have to force myself to do so, bad because it was a project that
was going along quite well and then I let my life get in the way of
things and I fell off pace about 3 quarters of the way through a
year.
I forgot why I was doing it back then,
I caved into pressures that I really didn't need to and put the
concerns of others above my own. That doesn't mean I am advocating
that I should go about my life as a self centered prick, but some
things in my life need to be mine, and this blog is one of them; my
place, my rules, my bitching and moaning, my life. Simple.
I have spent parts of the last few
weeks looking back on my previous blog posts, I forgot that I have
been at this for over 8 years now and the one thing that I felt was
that the more frequently I blogged, the better it felt to me. Maybe
it didn't read as well, that would be for others to determine, but my
head was in a better place. It would be like someone going to the
gym, for me the only way my head feels better, or sharper or more
active is to use it more often. Only coming on here when I feel like
it isn't a challenge, nor is it all that stimulating from a mental
perspective.
So without further adieu, my first post
of 2014 is the announcement of Blogger 365, an attempt to put forth
at least one blog a day for the next calendar year. Of course by
putting Blogger 365 in the title of this entry, in essence announcing
it before it happened even though it is happening as you are reading
this, I have created one of those Star Trek like temporal loops. I
wonder if this means I have to go all “Mirror Mirror” Trek and
shave back down to a goatee.
