Too many times in the life of this site, and more specifically in this blog, I have been reluctant to post something that has crossed my mind. I’m not too sure why; I want to say that there are multiple reasons for this. But I think that most of the time it’s due to this feeling that I sometimes have: I have to write for the readers.<\/p>\n
This, of course, makes absolutely no sense. It’s my<\/em> site, after all; I should be able to post anything I want to say (within the constraints of the law, of course) and not worry about what the 20 or so daily visitors have to think about it. After all, a blog can be thought of as nothing more than a stream-of-consciousness in Internet form.<\/p>\n So why am I averse to the idea of adding an entry along the lines of “Sometimes I crack myself up trying to do ‘the robot’ while listening to music” (true) or “yesterday I got a new golf club. It’s a 60-degree lob wedge…” (also true)? Well, because frankly I’ll wonder if you, gentle reader, will think I’m insane or extremely boring. Instead, I wait until I either have something “valuable” to say or some breaking news story in my life happens. Admittedly, neither is very common, and so the site undergoes a drought of sorts.<\/p>\n Of course, the ironic thing here is that the comments that this entry receives will probably tell me a lot about what people think about me and this site anyway…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Too many times in the life of this site, and more specifically in this blog, I have been reluctant to post something that has crossed my mind.
