Judging from the records, the last blog post I made was late July of last year. As to why it's been so long since I last posted, well....I suppose I feel out of favor of updating my status on this website or most sites, content to keeping it on mostly Twitter or Instagram. It was more laziness on my part as well as the fear that I had nothing to contribute. It's been a trying year for most people and I just didn't know what I could add to the conversation when others were way more active. If my heart wasn't in it, I just didn't engage. Along the way, my posting (and typing) muscles atrophied. After all this time, I just felt kinda sick that I wasn't generating anything in the way of content.

My podcast output has also stalled as the last episode was posted at the end of last August. For the same reasons, of course. That and very little in the way of feedback.

Which brings me to what drove me back here. I truly want to change my output and I suppose that the first thing that'll have to be discarded is the fear that I'm just writing drivel that no one is reading or cares about. I'm sick of letting the fear get in the way. As Blog A Day has commenced for this year, I want to actually committ to the idea of it. So, regardless of whether or not I feel the subject is compelling, you'll see a post from me every day this month. This should get me out of my stupor.

So, a quick recap for today's post: work is going well in that it never goes away. I survived the football season and the basketball season (which is worse) is near its end, thanks to the fact that the school can't host tournaments two years in a row (and it helps that their teams suck this year). Other than that, I keep my head down, mind my own business and my spirit aches from the current political turmoil; on the other side of that latter coin, my spirits can also be raised by the protestors, civilians and policitians who are standing up to the injustices of the land and of the presidency. I know that politics is a senisitive subject here so I won't go any further in that.

In future posts, I'll go in depth to the media that I've consumed in the past year as well as current pics. And I plan to read the posts of my friends as well. All of you have remained engaged and consistent all this time and its one of the things I admire about the lot of you. It reflects positively on this website, which has always been a safe place for taste, humor and consideration for others. I truly want to fall back into the fold and catch up with everyone. The only way we'll make it through this nutty year is together.

Until tomorrow, check ya later!
