That is the question.
I'm just not sure what to think about blogging any more. I was excited about it for a long time. I've had this blog for over four years! I used to post consistently. I used to read other people's blogs consistently. Comments here and there used to ebb and flow like the tides of a shallow yet refreshing kiddie pool.
Well, now I just don't know.
With the dawn of online interactive social media sites like facebook and twitter, a new age of internet is upon us. There seems to be a lot more communicating happening on those sites, and I'll be honest - it's difficult for me to continue to give much energy to a blog without really knowing if and when and who may be thinking on the thing. I mean, if a blogger blogs in forest and no one is there to read it... ???
So, I guess I'm going to have to do some more pondering. Or not - and just let the natural weathering process unfold. Who knows, maybe there's beauty in internet decomposition. Soil has to come from somewhere. Look Mom! Nutrients!!
I hear you! (or is that read you??) Don't allow the micro-blogging ability of facebook and twitter to stifle your desire and ability to share more than 140 characters with the rest of the world every now and then(or at least global inhabitants with access to an internet connection).
It doesnt matter if you blog 12 times a day or 12 times a year. Your thoughts are priceless and your prose has an eloquence seldom found in the blogsphere.
Plus where else would I find a link to a Hot Butter song I was only reminiscing about 3 hours ago :)
Keep up the good work!

i agree josh. i've had my blog for about 5 years and when i started blogging with a few other friends, it was a place for conversation. things have shifted towards micro-blogging, from a post to a status update, now i don't even have to comment on you status, i can just click that i like it. i like nutrients too.
