As usual, my blog has gone dark for an extended period of time. I wish it was merely a function of how busy I am. Laziness, distraction and apathy weigh large on the fact that I can’t keep it going for too long. Various applications and devices were meant to facilitate my keeping up with it, but the one to fall short was me. It may be that I just don’t have much to talk about.
If I’m in a crowd of people, I’m usually more interested in listening, only adding my opinion when I feel particularly passionate. (The occasional snarky comment does escape my lips on occasion.) I am much more the consummate consumer when it comes to information rather than a content generator.
I have, in fact, been accused of being a obsessive reader, which I’m told it is possible to diagnose via the DSM4.
Now, its not that I don’t enjoy the act of creation. I still identify myself as an artist, even though I haven’t been able to prove that in the past couple of years. New ideas are not lacking for me, just direction and execution. Beyond my numerous stagnant websites, look at my SecondLife! I have a “gallery” which doesn’t get any updates or traffic and 30,000 $L piled up in my account from non-use.
If anything, my love of information and technology is what keeps me from finishing. I move on to something new before I have time to have developed. I don’t think that it is an attention deficit kind of issue.
Anyway, I am writing this post thanks to a well written comment that appeared this morning. Thank you for reminding me that if I start something, I should at leas attempt to keep up with it, even if that wasn’t your intention.
Put a contact link in your site brother – 5 years plus it’s been – tap your old friend and roommate back; it’s been too damn long. and sorry for putting thins in your comments
I hear you can score a copy of the DSM3 pretty cheap these days.
As for that well written comment, Colleen’s a good writer. I’ve been looking in on her blogs for a while now. She’s posted a number of entries about indigenous people that’s worth popping over for a peek.
Good to hear from you again, cuz.
I’ve always wanted to say that, but when you’ve only got one the opportunity doesn’t come up much
