Hello, again.

It's been quite a while since I've posted here. I use Twitter and Facebook very frequently -- and that's why my postings in blog form are more rare. It's really easy to post short thoughts than it is to sit down and write anything lengthy.

I know, it's very lazy. On the other hand, I really haven't had all that much to say lately. Aside from the little posts previously mentioned. 

The last few months haven't been bad but I have been in a frequent funk. I'm not very happy where I've let certain things in my life go. But they are the results of choices I've made. Mostly.


Some things, I feel, are beyond my immediate control. Some things that I placed my bets on taking care of themselves and improving through the natural course of events. I've lost some of my bets. And that has set me in a brooding disposition many times.

I'm not going into all of them here. It's not productive to do so.

Yet I'm also frequently reminding myself to follow a good path. To be compassionate and remember that control of anything other than my own mind and will is an illusion. Bringing my mind to the present moment and letting go of the past is the most peaceful and productive action. Likewise, I must try to not fret about the future. The future is purely speculation until it becomes the present. Taking care of RIGHT NOW should go a long way in taking care of what's coming after.

It's a moment to moment struggle sometimes. There's something to be said for experience. But there's also something to be said for believing in the opportunity for new outcomes.

On another line of thought: I need to start funneling my Tweets and Facebook posts to my blogs. Redundant? Yes. But I'm not ready to let go of my "personal websites."

Funny thing... I've been working and playing on the web for a very very long time now and I see myself becoming progressively more detached and, maybe, cynical about it. Social Networking has changed EVERYTHING in the personal space (and nearly everything in the commercial space).

That's a topic for a different post. I'll get around to it later. :-)
