I’m feeling guilty. I’ve completely neglected writing on this blog. I stop by every month to keep up with my goal-oriented project of Monthly Resolutions and other times to post a link, but that’s it. After much thought, I’ve reached a conclusion.
Blogging and other social networking activities like twitter suffer under a lack of time. In a list of my priorities, they come after my studies, which has been reflected by my absence.
Here’s the verdict: For now on at this site, there is no schedule, there are no quotas, there are no promises. But, if you subscribe (rss), you’ll find me sending some thoughts your way every once in a while. I’m retiring the Monthly Resolutions project, not because I think it’s a bad idea, but because I’ve demonstrated that I don’t have the time to keep up with it online. I’ll keep continuing to challenge myself offline, but the rigid structure of the project doesn’t fit my life as a student anymore.
It’s not the end of the world; the end of the world would be if I kept lying to myself and you, my readers.
When I was really young, like, pre-school young, I had an amazing obsession with Phil Collins, which has only resurfaced in recent years.
Today, I found my favorite video from when I was a kid – it’s Phil Collins’ final song on his Farewell Tour. He’s performing Take Me Home, undoubtedly one of the greatest songs ever written. I remember watching this video over and over again on a VHS tape. To me, it’s inspiring.
My point in writing this post isn’t to get you to listening to Phil Collins. Rather, I urge you search YouTube for things you loved as a kid. You’ll be amazed and delighted at what you find.
Are we friends on Google Reader? If not, we should be.
Google Reader allows you to share stories you find particularly interesting with a list of friends. It’s incredibly powerful for establishing your own news filter – something I’ve been very interested in over the past few months.
Go to “Sharing settings…” in the Reader interface and in the text box on the bottom right part of the page enter my gmail address (rice28m). Be sure to leave a comment on this post and I’ll start sharing with you, too.
