I can’t believe that this is my third attempt at a blog.
Well, as mentioned in the one previous post, 50% of new blogs are abandoned. Ghost towns of internet Real Estate. With ghosts. ooooOOOOOoooOOOOOOoooOOOOOoh.
I’ve also noticed that as a freelance web-designer and debugger, that it really is a task to keep your portfolio on the ‘net and still relevant looking. And not only that, but to be quite honest with you all, I kind of suck at Flash.
But then again, there are people who make Macromedia Flash design their profession and charge up the bunghole per page for things that get put up and stay relevant for no more than ten weeks. And God bless them, because I sure as hell don’t wanna do that.
But wait, does this mean that we’re all licensed to be infinitely wasteful with how easy it is to publish on the ‘net? Is this history repeating those flyers everyone discards? What about those nice, laminated flyers for one-time only events? Is that what Macromedia Flash has become the equivalent for? And it’s not like we trash these things by deleting them — there is no universal waste bin for sites that just become façades of a day already past?
Does it matter?
The fact that we don’t have to discard any of this junk is, I think, what is so exciting about this world-wide-whatchamacallit. It is not history repeating as much as it is, actively, becoming history.
Hey, remember that website with that thing that we liked?
Yeah, I think it’s still posted. Great!
Who needs to worry about forgetting when we’ve got bookmarks?
Well, my point in ranting oh-so-bloggerly is that I hope this blog does not become one of the discarded. That is, of course, ultimately up to me.
So let’s hope that my own conviction will keep this thing afloat. Because the only reason I’ve started this thing is because I’ve succumb to the latest wave of the flu, and being bedridden only impairs me physically, not digitally.
Also, I hear that writing on a regular basis improves your writing skills. I hear that from everyone. So I need to write more often, because my skills have taken a backseat to my priorities (day job, other job, musicianship, and one more job. Yes, I have three jobs).
Also, having nearly no time to myself and spending most of that time online, I figure this is a good way to keep sane since I don’t get to spend a lot of time with my friends.
Maybe I’m just talking to myself. Out loud. To you. An audience.
Woah. Profound.
Ok, moment of clarity expired. My medication is apparently the opposite of non-drowsy. But it’s not like they would label a medecine as being “drowsy.” That’s just counter-intuitive. Not even sleep aides are labelled “drowsy.”
