Another musing that is unlikely to come to fruition: spending time developing a website instead of surfing the internets all of the time. Perhaps I am feeling the lack of Computer Science in my curriculum as of late.

I never realized what an odd sensation it is to write purely for one's own benefit and reflection until just this moment, when I have not attempted an update of this blog or anything for months on end. I'd say that the HP notebooks (whose supply is dwindling though Nick promises a resupply shipment in the near future) have supplanted the desire to reflect on the internet. Most of my "thoughts" that I would transcribe here are fleeting and disconnected - more worthy of a scribble in a notepad than a blog. After 6 years of blogging, I can safely say that people on the internet rarely care about what you have to say, especially if it is inconsequential ramblings from your own life.

I'd rather not have this blog become simply a repository for musings of my youth. If I were to start using this site again, I would prefer to divide the content up between things, say, pre-2007 and now to reflect a change in pace and purpose. All talk and no action would be the side to hedge bets on. Maybe I can find a simple Blogger Firefox addon that makes putting the effort of placing words into this less taxing.

I probably would not use this site for videogame musings, as I have several in the queue and more forthcoming with no start or end in sight for me picking up gaming again on more than the most casual of levels. Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Paper Mario, hell even Link's Crossbow Training or whatever the hell it is all need more attention before turning my sights towards Advance Wars or Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I can't believe that the entire lifespan of the blog has passed since the last Super Smash Bros. game, over SIX AND A QUARTER YEARS by the release in March. Insane. Oh how the world was different back in the day.

Short quip about my personal life: it's going alright. Classes are ok, relationships are ok, and the future looks bright. I suppose blogging was more interesting when life involved more angsty emo-ramblings. Just be glad I didn't post anything from, say, mid-September to mid-December!
