Disparate Undulations

Ripples in the stream of consciousness *

This is not a blog per se, but is to serve as a catch-all for those random, disconnected thoughts occurring throughout the day.

There's no predetermined format and the postings are random with no implied regularity.

Comments are not enabled; it's really not that kind of blog.

There seems to be a lot of bloggers questioning whether or not to continue blogging.

I thought it quite the coincidence since I too am having these same feelings. (It's sorta like the "chat room" thing. It comes into vogue, everyone participates, then a significant number get "bored" and move on, while the one's who truly like the process remain and continue.) I haven't yet decided which one I am.

Lot's of folks want to trash their blogs, some creating alternate blogs in an attempt to rekindle the excitement. Then, rather than abandoning the whole concept, they take an hiatus and come back refreshed.

I'm feeling that my [main] blog is too demanding. As much as I like the "community aspect", it's turned into an obligation ...unlike this blog where I post when I want to, if I want to, and don't deal with comments or responses. So what did I do? I added a mid-week posting to my regular weekly one ...yet more obligation.

Yes, I'm considering terminating the "Blabbity". It's not that I'm bored with it, or that I don't have anything else to say. it's just that I've done it for about a year, and, well, "I done it". It's time to move onto something else, and I do have other interests that've suffered due to lack of time to pursue them. Maintaining and reading blogs (and commenting to them and checking the replies to the comments) consumes a considerable amount of time. And my desire to entertain all these other ideas won't leave a lot of time to blog ...not and do it the way I want. So it'll just have to make way.

I've set 1 year (end of August) as the point at which I'll decide to continue or stop.
