Why I Don't Update

Posted on June 9th, 2008 at 12:22 AM

So, it's been a while since the last update... but I'm refusing to let this blog die the slow and quiet death my blogs of the past have seen. Today, however, I think I realized exactly what has caused all of my previous sites in general to vanish into the dark nothingness of the Internet... and why I haven't updated in a while.

Basically, the life of a college kid is in constant flux; every 4 months, you have a brand new set of classes, a completely new schedule, and new professors. Or it may even be summer and you're either back at home, working at an internship, doing summer school... or maybe just lounging around for 3 months being a bitch.

Point is... each discontinuity on the life v. time graph has very little sympathy for old developed habits and the like... so things that I had gotten into a good groove for (blogging in this case) tend to fall by the wayside. Since my day-to-day schedule is so different than it was during the school year, my internal cron service needs a revamping. But, now that I've settled in at work, it's time to reinstate all the mundane and miscellaneous minutia I love to saturate my life with.

It makes me wonder how long I will have this site, and this blog. This current incarnation of the site specifically is relatively new (PHP/MySQL), but I have blog entries I imported from an old live journal (circa 2005), as well as the previous brandonvalosek.com site.

Will I be writing about my kid's first words some day? Or maybe how the Drrty Boiz are still rocking out at age 80... giving arthritis the finger and playing at our local retirement home... who knows? But for now, expect updates to return to their regularly scheduled frequency.

    Dude... "mundane and miscellaneous minutia" was beautiful wordsmithing... I teared up just a little when I read it

    Can't wait to get back to Austin... we need to drink it up the first weekend I am back!
