The question is... am I under some obligation to update this thing? The answer is no of course. The problem is, I do do want to update it, or rather, I feel I have to update it out of some stupid sense of duty (towards whom I do not know. to the god of blogness perhaps).
This blog serves no purpose if it's not updated. This requires material, preferably interesting. So if I have nothing interesting to say I can
1. force myself to come up with something (can't be bothered)
2. write any old crap (which I do now, totally pointless)
3. close the blog cuz it's not serving its purpose
I don't wanna close it, I like it and it's part of me. But right now I don't know what to write in it (apparently I also don't know what to say to people in general) and I've had this problem for a while. My thoughts wander, I have no serious topics to talk about... nothing really matters to me.
There isn't anything I care enough about to write an entry about it. Or... do anything about. Talk about. Think about longer than 2mins at a time. I deteriorate. Intellectually. Eventually I will dissolve. *poof* Hopefully that will solve many problems, including the fate of this blog.
IIII think you are addicted to it.

Yeah.

Perhaps but it's frustrating if I don't have anything to write in it. So that hardly satisfies my addiction.
LMAO @ BML. It's an idea... but it would require imagination... and energy.
Posted by: Wam on Wed March 2, 2005 at 10:52Ja to the blog. You've had it for ages and you use it a lot, so even if you don't have anything to say at the moment/in periods/most of the time/whatever, you'll have days when you WANT to write something and then you won't have a blog where you can write it.
Posted by: JarJar on Wed March 2, 2005 at 11:13But those days are almost non-existent at the moment, so it's kinda pointless. I do WANNA write stuff, but I just don't HAVE stuff I wanna write (does that make sense?)
Maybe I could open it again when I DO feel like writing but right now it's just meh meh meh so pointless.
I don't think it's pointless.
You said you liked it. If you don't feel
like writing anything at the moment then
you don't have to.
Things go in cycles and soon you'll want your blog again and have it to write in.
Where have you been by the way?
Posted by: jimmy on Wed March 2, 2005 at 14:40Well I updated my blog just now, if you care.
I often find with my normal journal that I'll sit down to write and realise I have nothing to say. I can go for weeks without writing anything, and then all of a sudden get the urge and write pages (of utter crap). But I think sometimes you just arent in the mood, because you have written great entries in the past and had things to say.
Maybe if you feel like you're not gonna update for a few days then just put a note at the top of the page saying so?
I know sometimes I can't be arsed to write in mine. Or that is, I can't be arsed to make it interesting enough to put my thoughts into blog form. :- \
