With any luck, an everyday occurance

(In this post, I have decided not to delete anything.  If I type it, it goes into the final post.  Excepting spelling errors, which I will correct as I go.  Yo.)

My orbit has yet to really get going.  I've only just fired up my primary rockets and crawled out of the atmosphere.  I can't even consider myself to be 'in orbit' yet, and already, there's a problem.  As I'm trying to come up with something substantive for this post, I keep coming back to the notion that there ought to be some running theme.  Some overarching purpose for the blog.  A final destination, or at least a definitive direction for the orbit.

I don't know why I feel as though I have to settle on just one direction or theme.  Maybe it's because that's how I've always done things.  I tend to focus on just one thing at a time, and it's been a constant struggle to learn the art of multitasking (for my job, primarily).  I think this tendency to focus on things, coupled with the stated embrasure of randomness in the outset of the blog, was the main reason why it took me forever and a day to actually follow up to the first post.  I kept rebelling against the lack of pattern when I sat down to write anything.

My coffee should be ready.  I'll go grab it now.

I am back, slightly delayed thanks to a pressing need to move laundry from the washing machine to the dryer.  I realize that this gap in time is entirely subjective, but perhaps you can replicate it by hopping off to a trendy juice bar for a few minutes.  I promise the blog will still be here when you get back.  Go on.

You gone?  Alright, I'll wait.

Welcome back.  I suppose I'll close this out by saying that, starting now, I intend to post daily.  Or, if not daily, as close to it as I can.  Many of the posts will probably be rambling, random explorations of ideas or concepts that I personally find interesting.  Furthermore, I have quieted that incessant voice in my head demanding a theme or unified direction with the thought that a theme will probably creep into the posts on its own, without me actually trying to inject it. 

I've also realized that I tend to write long and complicated sentences when I'm not editing myself.  I haven't even had but a sip of my coffee, so that can't be the reason.  Two sips now.

See you tomorrow!
