I did it again. I left the blogosphere for a while. I'm really not that good at this blogging gig. 5 MONTHS... I didn't write for 5 months! Did I think of writing? All the time! But there is something about a blog... I think I feel the pressure to write a 1000 word essay whenever I want to make a post... and that dissuades me from writing at all when I all I want to do is write 100 words on an article I read.
Twitter is good for my short thoughts, clever musings, and dissemination of information.
Twitter does not allow me to reflect on anything, though. It doesn't allow a multi-medium post.
Facebook is good for pictures and keeping up on events with my friends and family. I think it has a future as a personal biography (imagine my gravestone having a scroll button where you can look through my entire life in great detail... the future of graveyards, I tell you! Actually.. that's a really sweet idea... I'm going to draft that up).
Facebook is too accessible for some of my deeper thoughts, though. I only want the people who are truly interested in my more complex thoughts to engage at that intimate of a level of social media (like you... the person who is reading this... thank you... I am most likely comfortable with sharing all of this with you... but not my 1600 Facebook friends or however many I have...)
I might move to Tumblr is what I am trying to say here. I have nothing against Blogger... it has served me well. I just think, for the type of sharer I want to be, Blogger just isn't going to work out. Apparently there is a plug-in called "Tumblrize" that will allow me to re-archive all of these posts here, there.
This will be a good move for me, I do believe. I think I will post far more frequently. Shorter, but more frequent. I am sure there will be a long blog post at about the same rate as what I've got going now... not to worry... in case you are a super fan.
This is a terribly written blog post. I'm out of practice.
