(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!
