'Tis the Season

So Christmas is Tuesday.

Wow.

I have some serious shopping to get done. My mom comes home tomorrow. And Christmas is Tuesday.

I wish I were a great blogger in the political realm, in so that I could apply for media credentials to the 2008 GOP Convention. Yeah, that would be pretty cool right?

I'm still sick.

And I only did this out of pure boredom. Not like anyone is reading it anyhow.
That, and I like to play with Firefox's add-ons every now and then.

Death of a Hiatus

Just thought I'd post to the old-school personal blog to test out a new add-on for Firefox called ScribeFire. It's a blogging app that allows me nearly one-click publishing. This may come in handy as I've thought about a new blog for less in depth political thoughts. Anyhow, I suppose I'll have to make a resurgence in writing here.

P.S. I may be moving to WordPress.com.

When will I learn?

I think I should purge this blog of all the old entries. And I need a return to writing on a more frequent basis. I think I use this blog, more than anything else, as an alternate memory.

The past few days have consisted of certain events, hardly extraordinary, that have greater drawn my attention to my current state. It's not to say that my focus has been entirely averted from cardinal thoughts, but to say that it has been given bifocals.

At this point most would shake their heads in discontent at my past efforts (I'm not so sure I should honor my actions as 'efforts') and say that I should have done better. However I can name only a small number who spoke out of benevolence and not of disdain. The latter is turning me into a sort of misanthrope.

Last night I read a short essay by George Orwell entitled "Why I Write" (from a collection of essays of the same title). To this day I have never read a collection of words I found to be more veritable and more consistent with any one of my emotions. It simply epitomizes "I feel the exact same way!"
