Net starved?
Monday, April 30, 2007 at 12:47 am
As many of your have noticed, I’m rather silent lately. It’s because work has drained the energy out of me like never before.
I thought I could keep flooding you with videos and other silly and useless stuff even if I worked more than before, but it was a fair bit naive on my part. I knew I’d have to reduce the pace of my blogging activities, but I didn’t expect my return to an active professional life would reduce my blog to dead silence.
I kept ready all of you, even leaving comments on your blogs, but when evening comes, while watching TV, I was more eager to be entertained than to entertain.
What struck me the most is when Houssein published his article about the words written on the skin of the Virginia Tech killer, ismail ax. Just read my comment, you’ll see how completely out of sync with the world I was back then,.
I never let myself blog about family or work. It’s almost like religion and politics at a family dinner. One is well advised to avoid this kind of discussion if one doesn’t want to start a fight and keep good relationships.
My daily activities being mostly work driven for 8 hours if not 12, and being rather lazy by nature and needing my firm 9 hours of sleep, leaves very little time for the familly, and everless for hobbies, blogging included.
There, Mo, Dom, you now know the secret of why I was always everywhere anytime on the blogosphere: I was doing only that! Almost
I had news break at my fingertips, I was always in front of my computer screen (well, that is still the case…) and was Web surfing. When I didn’t write on my blog, I was reading yours, I was thinking, I was writing, I was forgetting, but most of my daily activities were blog related.
It’s obvious in my mind that I don’t want to close this blog, but at the same time, I can’t put the same energy as before.
What the weeks and months to come will bring are as much a surprise to you than it will be for me. I have no idea how many articles nor what they will be about.
Certainly less about actuality, although I still read the newspaper, don’t worry! Probably shorter texts, although this one is already rather long. I would like to avoid my blog becoming like any other personal blog. After all, my life in itself is totally irrelevant.
I seem to be in search of myself, ain’t I?
It’s not just an impression.
I’m still looking for balance.
Making life and work work (!) is not as easy as it seems.
Speaking of which… I’ll be in bed.
