Blogging

Blogging seems to have taken a backseat for the last month, which is usually indicative of a relatively boring day-to-day routine. Ironically though, the last month had actually been a period of many blog-worthy activities, from late-night Street Fighter gaming parties to driving a new car around the town and impressing my friends with it :)

Every day when I check back on my blog, I'd feel like updating but then pause for a moment and then in the end decide to do otherwise. Nothing to update? No, I've got plenty to write about. But just that I felt like not sharing what I had been doing, to kind of make those memories a little bit more valuable, instead of just public information available on the Web.

But if I keep this up, then I might as well shut the blog down, I thought.

So I tried to rationalize with myself, and mentally go over reasons to continue blogging. I was pretty blank for the most part. Then I tried to invoke more reasons to necessitate pulling the plug on this blog that I had spent several years on. Blank again, unfortunately.

And it's a tie, I thought.

Ever too often I get myself into the whole 'Why did I start blogging in the first place' dilemma that is never definitively answered and waste time thinking about blogging instead of doing some actual blogging. I'm a lazy person unfortunately when it comes to weighing pros and cons and all that jazz, so I've decided that I should stop thinking so much and going nowhere with the thoughts. And just keep the blog here and post whenever I want to.

as you may guess, i've been having the same dilemma as you past month or so. I haven't updated since..... i can't rmb. but the thing is, i just don't feel like writing anymore.

then there's the whole "but you've been doing it for 5 years bla bla" in my head. and while the recollection is good, and i'm just so brilliant at rambling on and on (like now), it just saps too much time and energy for other more wonderful things i could be doing.

blogging has always been to share part of my life. but maybe as i grow up, i find myself more inclusive... and that sphere is drastically narrowing. it doesn't just reflect in the blogosphere but in reality as well. I keep a close sphere of close friends, and that's enough for me.

enough with the trumpeting. and doing more living.

but i'm sure that canvas will have its use when i actually feel like writing something again.

man, did i just announce my blog's obituary on yours? :P

Ah, can't believe I read your comment here in your blog first instead xD

I think it's a sign that we've all gotten comfortable with the people we have around us, so much so that the blogs had taken on a lot less significance than in the beginning.

I hope you'll keep posting though :)
