...a new beginning? Like that Friday the 13th movie...it sucked and made me afraid to go around corners for a good year of my childhood on the possibility that Jason might be there with a machete raised...
I thought I'd give the blog thing a try again, at least for the summer. In some way I know that my future self will appreciate that I time-capsule myself for reading...one year? Five years? Fifty years from now? I was home in Norwalk a couple weeks ago and going through some things found a diary I kept during the summer of 1991 (so I was ten). I only kept it for about seven days, I guess ADD set it (and I think my mother making me was the only reason I did that much). Reading it I couldn't help but thinking what an idiot I was...no sentence structure! I am sorry to my teachers and parents I much have been so boring/annoying. The cliche is children not being proud of the adults they grow up into but I am embarrassed by the child I was. OK, not really. I did like reading that and thinking the boy who wrote it was me long ago.
So, the downfalls of the last attempt at this were:
(1) I didn't think anyone was reading it. That shouldn't matter, because it's not just for other people, and I can make a crack at obtaining site statistics.
(2) I didn't have time...well, I think it's a good use of time, and I can knock-out short little random tidbits pretty easy. Time is the one commodity we're all born with equal amounts of, and how much effective time we have is just skills in time management...
So, here's a resolution to keep it up until summer's end...is that unofficially Labor Day? I didn't start with Memorial Day, but I'm pretty close. Calender summer starts today. We'll see how it goes...
