Forecast from an upper-blogosphere observation satellite
I have a bad habit when it comes to reading blogs. When I’m not updating my Web site, I get jealous of sites that are regularly adding new posts (and I get a smarmy grin when I see some else hasn’t done anything new in a while too).
It’s trite, pathetic, and something I’ve had a hard time shaking.
A good habit I’ve had is my willingness to go into the archives to see what has happened - something I believe few people do (though I don’t have any specific statistics to back me up on that supposition).
Since my last posts came from mid-March, I had a bit of reading to do for some sites. I even had a new/old site to peruse: it seems an old friend re-started her bloging habit a couple days earlier than I had initiated my own reboot.
I only learned this now because I hadn’t checked my Hotmail account for over a month as well. Bad Caleb. (I thwap myself with a rolled newspaper). No biscuit!
Note: I’d include the link now, but I’m waiting for confirmation on whether or not that would be allowed. The old site was originally deep-sixed when people who weren’t supposed to view the online journal, as in parents, discovered opinions and observations they weren’t happy to learn. I guess this is a case when perusing the archives isn’t such a good thing. An additional blog link may or may not be added when I receive word.
Anyway, I only finished updating myself on what my favorite bloggers have been up to since mid-April (the last time when I did a blog crunch). Some have started internships, some have moved locations, some have graduated various colleges, some have attended spectacular concerts and sporting events (and some less striking venues [stupid last-place-in-the-standings18-39 Royals]), some have worked to explored unknown cities, some have returned to their roots (temporarily, at least), and all seem have unanswered questions about what’s to happen next.
So even amidst the constant changes in life, both short-term and longer, the haziness of the future remains the status quo. I’m not sure if this uneasiness is caused by the regularity of change or if it persists despite the current.
To corrupt an old saying by smacking it and forcing it to be more truthful: The more things change, the more they keep changing – and that’s what stays the same.
It makes one ponder what’s going to happen next.
In theory, time will tell – and if we bloggers keep up our end of the bargain, w shall also tell shortly afterwards.
At least, that’s the goal.
