What May Come

There's a reason why I haven't been blogging like I used to. Several reasons, actually. One of those reasons is burnout. I have been in college for almost two years now. I'm well on my way to an associates degree and a bachelors in another two more years.

My major is communications which means that I write. I not only write, I write a whole lot. At the end of the day, after all that writing, I have little incentive to start writing again in a blog. That's why the posts that I do make these days are relatively short and to the point. I love writing. I am majoring in communications and minoring in technology because I want to break in to publishing, but I've been getting more than enough opportunities to write in school.

There's also twitter. Twitter has allowed me and many others to update their happenings very quickly and very conveniently. The only reason many people keep a blog these days is to share anything that doesn't fit in to 140 characters. Even then, they link to the blog post on twitter. Twitter has become the main place to go to find someone on the web and to see what they are up to. Blogs are becoming increasingly irrelevant for most people.

That all being said, I've missed stamping out walls of words in my blog. I've made some attempts to try doing so again, but mostly I've let the chance to make blog updates slip by. There have been plenty of things going on in my life. For instance, I recently moved to a new apartment. I got to sit in the captains chair from the original series of Star Trek. I've also been hanging out at a local park lately. I've made updates about these events on twitter and occasionally I've made short blurbs about them here. I believe that I could and should be doing much more than that, though.

I also have plenty of things lined up for the future. I will be attending Morphicon next month. I've always been a fan of anthropomorphic characters, but this will be my first furry convention. I am looking forward to possibly hanging out with fun people and seeing familiar artists within the fandom.

I am also working on and cooking up ideas for projects. However, these projects are very early on in the developmental stages. Honestly, I've made plenty of rush job web projects that never went anywhere. I want to make a project of my own merit that actually succeeds. I don't want to put much work and effort in to something that will not end up panning out anymore. It's just not worth my time and effort. That's why I'm putting a ton more thought and concentrated effort in to these new projects. They will not have a release date until I'm convinced that they are near ready and I am confident that people will enjoy them. I'm not going to write for just me anymore. I'm going to write for YOU.

If you can't tell already, my blogging break is over. I've made up my mind and I'm going to write one good and long personal blog entry at least once a month. I've written blog entries once a week for a whole month at Reviews, News, and How To Geeks, so I don't think that this will be much of a problem. Set the realistic goals first, right?

In the mean time, you can catch my latest happenings on twitter at twitter.com/webbupdates Hey, it's convenient!

You can also catch my occasional tech or geek related blog post at geeks.pirillo.com/profile/Emmerich Add me there if you have not done so yet. If you haven't joined, you really should. I have not found another community of it's type that has been so communicative in all my 10+ years of writing online.

Finally, you can also check out my weather related project at weatherfan.blogspot.com YouTube might be where I host the videos of storms that I chase, but the descriptions of these storms are in the blog!

Feel free to comment on this post. I'm writing this for you, so I value your input. Anything that you would like to see me do more of? Please tell me. I will do it! I will do it all night long if I have to... I will stay up and write that is. I mean, I do that anyway. I'll just do it more if I have to.
