OK- I suck

Yup, I said my goal was to post every single day in the month of October.  That was back around September 20 something. It is now October the 7th and I do, in fact, suck our loud. Here is why.

I have this thing about basic consideration. That is to say, blatantly inconsiderate people really upset me. The two things I find most offensive when it comes to this lack of courtesy are, being late and simply not showing.  I find both to show a complete lack of respect.  Hey, shit happens, I know that. You might not be able to make it or you might have to be late. Unless you are in prison, you have a way to let someone know. It used to be a telephone. Now it’s a cell phone, or laptop or pda. If you were really in a tough spot I bet you could still find a pay phone if you looked.

So, after a few ‘no call / no shows’ I made my feelings on the situation clear. Put an end to the dialogue and what might have been a friendship due to the lack of common courtesy and consideration. I do not feel I need to accept that. No one does. I have lost relationships for being the jackass half of the deal. No matter what I thought then, there simply is no excuse.

With that in mind I am reading a message about my not having posted once, let alone everyday this month. Hmm.  Now I find myself in a peculiar spot. I tell someone, hey, please do not contact me anymore because I do not appreciate the way you treat me. Then, I am forced to recognize that I have shown the same lack of respect for you. As much as I would like to apologize to you for that, as I have already said, there is no excuse.

No matter that I do not know most of you or that this blog serves no purpose.  What matters is, you come here (for some reason) and I ask you too (for some reason). The very very least I could do is provide content on a some what regular basis.

“If you want to be a writer…write.” Epictetus

Every day seemed easy. Then again so did exercising every day. Oh well.

I have been doing well, settled, happy and content in the place my life seems to have parked. This leaves little to share.  It seems I must now find things to write about. Did not realize how lazy the other way had been before. Keep waking up until something is a mess then write about it. Now, very few messes.

What this is leading to is a lessor goal, commitment. I will not post every day. I will however find a way to be more conscientious to you, your time, your feelings. That is to say, if you stop in, you can expect more from me than I have given you lately.

If you have any topics you would like to read about – toss it on out there..

If not, I’ll see what I can mess up or get into to write about. There is the project car in the garage you have nor heard about yet. I am sure that will get interesting very, very soon.

Thank you for your understanding.
