Relegation
I think this blog is, in a word, done.
Let me elaborate. It seems to me there are, very generally, two types of blogs. The first is largely concerned with personal matters and could mostly easily be labeled "personal." These blogs exist for the purpose of relating to others, one would assume family members or close friends, those events which the author is unable to relate to said audience directly either due to distance, scheduling, or general dislike of interacting with the audience.
The second type of blog is what I would call a professional blog. These blogs tend to have a central theme to their posts ranging from sports to babies to technical issues. The offer the author's unique point of view and her thoughts on whatever finds her fancy.
This blog is definitely not the second kind and, so, by process of elimination, it must be the first type. But herein lies the problem. I don't really believe that experiences can truly be shared in any meaningful way with those that weren't, themselves, originally a part of the experience. I have, or at least it seems to me like I have, a hard time relating, either through words or photographs, those things which I have experienced. My attempts to do so always come up short in my mind.
On occasion I find that I have something of value to say, but those times are exceedingly rare. And since I really don't have a unifying theme nor do I consider much of what I have to say to be of any worth to anyone, I hereby relegate this blog. This means little, really. I'll update with the odd post now and again, sharing a interesting YouTube clip or some random aside.
But, on the whole, I just can't get into the personal blogging. I will be redirecting my energies towards a more focused objective. Details to follow shortly.
