Loading ...Lazy SOB!
Wow, so much for regular writing! Life did in fact get in the way of writing this, at least a little. I got engaged between the time of my first post and this one and the planning involved in a wedding, I will just say, can be inhuman. Of course I did have time for other things too, so it’s only my most convincing and least self-depricating excuse.
What brought me here so many months after the first entry was practically forgotten? Well, recently there’s been a lot on the news (or NPR I should say), about blogging. I’ve also gotten a bit obsessed with the show This American Life. I find this show a bit like the audio version of blogs, but well edited and with musical ecompaniment. Then again, I don’t know all that much about blogging, so I may be totally off-base here. The show contains narratives, interviews, essays, etc., and is very well done. It’s much more like listening to a good audio book of either non-fiction, or even fiction, although most of what you hear on the show I think is based on reality. After listening to the show for a while, I really feel the urge to express myself in similar ways, and blogging seems a bit easier than switching careers and becoming a writer/producer for radio.
So, what I am hoping is that somehow I both remember and actually have the motivation to write something at least a couple times a week. A little observation or anecdote, a review, or a commentary. Anything, really. At this point my expectations of myself with this are not very high, but maybe I’ll prove myself wrong and actually get something going here. Whether anyone else will ever read it, who knows!
