I often open up WordPress, Word, or any number of programs I use to write with, and more often than not I end up not publishing whatever gibberish I wrote or planned to write. Funny thing is, I wasn&#8217;t always this way. I had a Livejournal and another self hosted blog that I would write in whenever the mood struck me. Random things, short things, long things, whatever. It was written and published without so much as a second thought. Ah, to be young, naive, and free of inhibitions! <\/p>\n<p>I am older now, more conscious, more aware, and more conflicted. Many blogs I read are written very eloquently, themed, have deep thoughts and me!? I&#8217;m some putz that just writes about weird shit no one really cares about and in a way that makes one kind of wonder how the hell I earned my degree (I know I do). <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve thought about this for a very, very long time. This thought about my thoughts on blogging, my views on it, and how I&#8217;ve approached it. And you know what? I&#8217;m kinda tired of it. I miss the days of blogging just to blog. Twitter has taken up that space, but sometimes there are things I want to write that need more than just 140 characters. Sometimes I want to just ramble and rant and rave and seem like a lunatic. Where can I do that without restraint? Duh, here. <\/p>\n<p>And you know what? I have nothing to lose. I have no viewership. I have no dedicated readers. I just have me. Me and my damn blog. I&#8217;m blogging the way I want to, dammit, and no one is gonna stop me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve made resolutions in the past to blog more and have many random thoughts and desires of wanting to blog more.
