I got nothin’

Published by Ron at 2:46 am under Blog Business

I got nothin’.  People (me) say it all the time, but I’ve been blogging my ass off for quite some time, and I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve kind of started to run dry on drive, energy, or whatever it is that makes for a quality blog post.  I still have the ideas, honestly, but when it comes down to sitting and writing, I just can’t be arsed.

The fact that it’s taken me like four hours to get this post this far should tell you just how little I feel like blogging these days.  I mean, I have the urge to write the post, to go into great detail about the hows and whys of why I’m so damn tired lately, but when I sit down to do it, I conveniently distract myself with bad movies on TV or whatever.  Any excuse is a good one, I guess; even though I’ve seen Demolition Man probably 50 times by now.

I know what the answer is going to be.  Everyone says, “Take a break!  It’s okay.”  Well, I could try that, but I just took a week off from the day job and all it did was give me the chance to get my days and nights confused while catching up on stuff I normally neglect.

I’m not complaining.  I’m lucky to have a couple of things to keep me busy that actually pay me.  Hell, I’m lucky to have a day job that pays me these days.  The whole purpose of this post was mostly to show that I’m alive and that I can still mash my face against the keyboard with accuracy enough to compose words and sentences.  I still have the Feel Good Friday posts for that too (even though I’m one of the few that still does them), but I figure why not at least put forward a pathetic excuse as to a dearth of content for ye olde blogge?

    I think you need to read this pamphlet:

    http://thenonist.com/index.php/weblog/permalink/a_nonist_public_service_pamphlet/

    In my years of blogging, there have been times I had no ideas, times I had ideas and just didn’t sit to write them (I have some now, matter of fact), and times where I wanted to write stuff but just couldn’t for my own personal reasons. Sometimes you need a break. Sometimes you just need to let go if it isn’t making you happy anymore. If this blog is for you, and not for other people, then it will still be here when you get back. And if you stay in feed readers, your readers will be back too.

    One more thing. “He doesn’t know about the three sea shells!” /snicker
