spryngStep 57 of N Steps to Self Betterment and (Eventual) World Domination: Blog more.
I fail in this because I've come to realize that the words I put down here - as hastily thrown together and ill-thought-out as they are - end up, because they are the only words I put down here, wholly describing my life and current situations. While I realize it is impossible to convey these things through words alone, my posts do characterize them for both you (my imagined audience) and my (future/present) self. Now, this realization has stopped me from writing many a blog entry in the past few months which, ironically, in itself only makes the problem worse. Because one entry in three months only more inaccurately describes a situation than a series which can better flavor the whole of it.
So I apologize, and I will try to err on the side of too many and too descriptive than too few and too little. But I apologize more to my future self, since these posts serve as a memory of sorts, and by being so hesitant and selective I am depriving myself of some memories I will only end up losing to time.
That and, I really do want to get into the habit of blogging it up more. One of the things I like about the various photograhers' websites I've been perusing the most is the interactivity of a blog and the display of their most recent work. On the other hand, I've found websites with blogs that haven't been updated in over a year or two are a bit of a turn-off - moreso than websites without blogs at all. So I will endeavor to not fall into that trap, all so easy as it may be.
Lifewise, things are trucking along. I've mentioned to Lady once or twice how I wish it were August already because I'd rather it were just over with and I didn't feel trapped and forced to twiddle my thumbs. Don't get me wrong - I love Seattle - but it's like taking off a bandaid. For me, it's so much easier just to go than wait for the aforementioned time. But alas, that is life, and there are things between now and then that keep us here. Like money, for one thing. Like weddings, for another. And my parents visiting in two weeks. And going to Minnesota in a month or two. Yet still I make my plans for what I will do after we've moved, and fail at doing in the now. Which leads to
Step 62 of Self Betterment and (Eventual) World Domination: Start Now.
I am going to have internet-less nights three days a week, where all I will do is write. I will spend my other nights between apartment searching and working on my website. Speaking of which, if anybody knows a thing about wordpress or layouts or relevant websites, feel free to throw it at me. I want to have this thing ready to launch by August. I want to take what I want to do and do it. No more talking, no more dreaming. If I can't do it now, I won't do it ever.
