On second thought, the name should be completely different too ...nothing with blabbity. How about "Occasional Musings ...for when the muses are in my head. No, ...for when the Daughters of Zeus are in my head. And I can even have the "DOZ" link back to the blabbity post about the muses. Now see, I've already shifted back into the space where this is "fun".

Now that the decision has been made, I feel it was (is) the right course of action. Since this is a definite plan, there's no reason to wait until the end of the month. I will, however, follow through and post the entries I've already drafted.

Already, I can feel the reduction in that things-I-gotta-do type of stress. Already, I've started digitizing those vinyl albums that have been staring at me for months. I'd started the projects months ago ...if taking the albums down and lining them up in from of the stereo counts as a "start". But in just the past couple of days, I've not only had the time, but the desire to proceed.

I will still have to find an outlet for those times when the muse is in my head, and I have a great idea for an "article". Hey, I just had a thought. I'll "freeze" the [Weekly] Blabbity where it is and start another identical blog ...same format, same look, same everything, but call it the [Occasion] Blabbity. Hmmmmm That's something to think about. I'll leave it open to comments, but not get hung up in dealing with them. Maybe I won't just copy the same look, I can use this opportunity to experiment with a new look. Sounds like fun, sounds like a plan.

I've made the decision to terminate the "Blabbity" blog ...not dismantle it, but just discontinue regular postings. I'd planned to finish out the month, but I've already drafted the final post and may not wait unit 7/31 to publish it.

This particular blog has never had a posting requirement and I'll still enter thoughts as I feel the need to disclose, or vent, or rant, or whatever. The Weekly Blabbity has a "regularity" inplied and if I should start posting to that again, it will be because I've decided to get back into it, not just the occasional comment.

The main thing ...and it comes as sort of a relief... is that I can abandon the ritual of having to check out all the blogs I'd gotten into the habit of visiting; it had become a sort of "social obligation". And you know how I feel about social obligations. Furthermore, I'd started writing with an audience in mind, and that was not what I want to do. I found myself censoring my thoughts and words and "forcing" ideas.

And then, there's always the hassle with Blogger itself. It so infuriates me when these "services" don't work properly and you get hung-up trying to upload pics and have difficulty publishing posts. Even as I'm writing this, [their] server seems to be on the fritz ...again. WFT!!!

I may even, if I feel I still want to blog, start a totally different blog, under a different username, and.... But eventually, the same thing would happen, again. Well that was just a passing thought anyway. Like I said, I thing I've done the blog thing.
