My bad
Here's the mea culpa I put on my other blog site at Osprey, confessing to being a bad blogger. You should see what some people are saying about me!
If I’m being honest, there aren’t too many things I think I’ve failed at during my 29 years.
I did poorly in art classes. A couple of my relationships have combusted. There are relationships in my life right now that, no matter how hard I try, how much I think about them, how much I will them to work, I can’t make happen. I have really ugly fingernails and never get to the esthetician for a manicure. My blog on the Osprey site fell apart in December. I can’t stop eating cheese. I never go the gym. Hmmm. Maybe I’ve failed at more things than I’ve realized but one thing hurts more than others and I’ll repeat it here for you: My blog here fell apart in December.
Some of you may remember that was I posting blogs here in late 2005. Some of you liked the light-hearted chit-chat, others spewed venom at me for being an airhead, not talking about politics or social policies and some of you were kind, some of you cruel.
My last blog here was on December 6. It has been three months since I’ve written anything and I can give you a grocery list of what went wrong: It was the holidays, then it was Christmas. New Year’s was in there somewhere. Then, I went on vacation and didn’t have Internet access. Then I started the process of buying a house. And there was work. And family. And fun life stuff – and the truth is I ran out of time.
When it comes to work, I’m a perfectionist, a neurotic perfectionist, and so I tried to make every blog a sparkling piece of writing and if I couldn’t do it, I decided not to write at all.
But I’ve decided to come back and give this one more try.
We’ll see what happens. I’ll try and point you to interesting things and you feel free to say whatever your heart desires but I’ve come to accept something over the last three months when people have nagged: Whatever happened to that blog of yours?
I’m not perfect and so my blog can’t be either
And yes, I intentionally left the period off that last sentence just to see how long I can last before I re-open this post, edit it and put that period on.
