I’ve been here before. When life gets in the way, I think about shutting the blog down. I’ve followed through on it in the past, only to return a few weeks or months later. Thoughts of ending the almost seventeen year unbroken run of idiocy have been resurfacing again recently - I have confided in one or two close friends, and they pretty much laughed in my face.
“You do this every few months - sometimes every month - you do realise that, right?”
They are probably right.
I just know that these inward looking, recursive posts are becoming ever so sightly insane. There is more to life than this damn blog - there are books to be read, movies to be watched, and friends to catch up with - and yet there is only so much time in the day. I can’t do it all. There’s also the thought of writing something real - something proper - something that might become a short story, or a book.
Maybe I just need to slow down - not pressure myself into posting something or other nearly every day - and yet I look around and see so many I know plastering their life all over Twitter, Instagram, WordPress, Tumblr, and wherever else. I wonder how they do it - how they find time.
I need to find more time. I’ve searched my pockets already, and it’s still a mystery.
In other news, my head torch arrived in the post today. Now I can go running and do Dalek impersonations at the same time. I wonder if the rest of the running group will be weirded out by the tall guy shouting “EXTERMINATE” at strangers ?
