Yaaaaawn .... what time is it? Wha... ? Did I oversleep or something? Shit.

So uh ... It's been two years and um... I'm thinking about doing this "blogging" thing again.

I really thought I was over it, you know? That I was a better man for having blogged, but that I'd had my say and done my part, and all without getting fired from my day job to boot. But see, lately I've been hearing The Voice again. I'm sure most bloggers probably recognize what I mean. It's how we perceive the world. Something interesting happens, or maybe something not-so-interesting, and The Voice automatically starts up in the back of your mind, framing a blog post. You hear The Voice write your introduction and you think Oooh, that's good. And then: I see how I could close the post strongly, and I could tie in to that other topic. But the transition is going to be tricky. And, Is that enough content? Gonna be a short post today. And when you're really crazy, you start thinking about how you already wrote two fluff posts this week, and damn it, your ten readers aren't going to give a shit about this, they want content baby, but where to find it? I ask you, where to find the damn content? And everyone else already said it better than I did, and I don't feel like writing today but *weeps* must ... post ... must ... write ...

And then somehow you manage to finish the post, even though The Voice is a fairweather friend who tends to wonder off right as you get to that tricky transition part. And what's next? Why, now it's time to find another idea for a post, of course! Because if there's one thing worse than having the entire world framed viewed through the lense of how you might possibly write about it later, it's feeding the beast that is your blog.

But I dunno, I dunno... It's been years since I had my fix, which is approximately infinity in blog-years, so I might have a thing or two that I want to talk about after all. A few things have changed here. I've had some experiences I might want to share. And also, it's getting nigh on election time, and that's always fun. So I dunno.

I might bring this thing back after all. See if I can shake the dust off the ol' text editor. See how long I can keep it going. Try to rekindle my feminism, which never really went away, but damn it, it's so easy to slip back into bad habits when you aren't constantly analyzing yourself and the world around you.

Okay, so here's the deal I'm gonna try to make myself: I might write a post every once in awhile. If I have something to say. When I feel like it. And if I don't, I'm not going to feel guilty about it. Did you hear that, My Guilty Conscience?! Neener neener neener! You can just fuck off, Guilty Conscience, okay? Okay. Okay.

Okay.

This feels pretty cool. I think I could get used to this. Again.
