Blogging

Well, it seems that once I get out of sync with something it can be like pulling teeth to get back into it. It pretty much began when I moved out here to Michigan that my online presence started to fade a little. Since I’ve gotten married it’s been even less. I think what has happened is that when I was just a single guy there was not really anyone much to protect. I could pretty much voice my opinion and share my feelings about anything to the entire world without much fear of the consequences. Things are very different now. I have a wife to protect. This isn’t a bad thing. I’d protect her from anything I could, she’s my wife, I love her more than anything of course. I think I just have a harder time writing now because I have to choose what I say even more carefully. The other reality that I have is that I no longer work for people that are generally understanding and caring. Ok, that’s not entirely true. What I mean is that there are too many cases now where potential employers, or current ones, do some Googling to find out about it’s current or potential employees. I don’t want to put something out there about my work that causes me to somehow lose my job or her future prospects for jobs. Now, anyone reading this, don’t be thinking that I’m leaving my job anytime soon. You just never know how long you’re going to be somewhere and when you might have to look for a job again.

Well, the morning is rushing on and I’ll be needing to get on my way. Perhaps this might finally be the return of my daily thoughts. We’ll see. I do rather miss my spilling it all on here, letting the world see a glimpse of what’s going on in this crazy head of mine. Actually, I wonder if anyone follows this thing anymore. I used to have so many readers, but maybe that’s a good thing. Tah-tah!

Thx Google for all the neat tools they keep pumping out. I’m now using Google Calendar slightly integrated into my blog. Should work ok. I’m feeling the itch to get back into blogging and podcasting…we’ll see what the schedule brings. I’m also thinking it might be time for a WordPress upgrade and site redesign/makeover. I may even go so far as bridge the gap between my blog site on the Tim blog. Perhaps I’ll bring the designs of the two inline with each other and distribute the content logically between them as well. We’ll see what I feel like doing, let alone have time for. I’ve been feeling for some time that my blog site really kind of got out of hand with so much stuff. There are parts that don’t get updated very often and perhaps should either be removed or at least moved to a page rather than taking up space on the long-winded sidebar. Well, I need to go to bed, blah! Cheers!

BTW, we’re going dancing tomorrow! (Tues) Actually, more accurately we’re taking a dance class. I can’t wait!
