So last night it was pointed out to me that it was 10 years since a particular event… I don’t remember the event, but I do remember thinking “Christ where did the last decade go”?
And then I think about everything that has happened in just my personal life and it boggles my mind…. Not the amount of stuff going on but the minutia of detail that has been lost to the fog of time and probably one or two too many beers. And it’s the minutia of detail that I take the most pleasure in. So as I was thinking about this I also realized that this pile of drivel is going to be 9 years old in just about a month.
I will admit I have questioned whether it was time to mothball this long running hobby more then once in the last year or so. It seems redundant with Facebook, Flickr, Instant Messaging, Cell Phones, and this little thing called getting in a car and going to someone’s house. In the end though this serves two purposes that most of the previous technologies fail miserably at.
1. Long form composition of thoughts and ideas (even if those have been severely lacking for a while now) (and to those who would say cell phones and being social full fill this requirement I say come hang out with me and certain friends who won’t let you get a word in edgewise after alcohol has passed their lips)
2. It’s a vanity project that it’s limited to 140 characters.
So where does this all lead? I don’t know but I’m thinking that their may be a return to some roots and maybe trying out a few different things.
Who knows but the fat lady just got bitten by a zombie so I guess I’m committed now.
