Back to the Weblog

Woah hey, it's been a long time since I've said anything here. What with a certain social media company claiming the space of our greater existential universe and naming itself thusly, I'm considering moving out of it and into the slower lane of weblogging again.  

So much has happened since I last wrote - including my foray into the use of social media to the extent that artificial tears have become a bedside staple. Ow, I don't like that image! Well it just means I've been straining my eyes (oh! what a vision!) looking at the computer too much.  And by artificial tears I mean my eyes get dry from staring for long periods and forgetting to blink (I guess) and that the excessive amounts of information I consume daily trigger a treadmill of superficially received emotional experiences for what, when I was a young man, well just one or two such issues would exhaust my attention for weeks. How can you really feel the impression of a reality when you dust by it so fast you barely give it credence?

When I started this weblog I was a lot older than I am now though. I was falling into a routine and it was aging me. I feel more refreshed these days, in some ways, and stagnant in others because of the pandemic. So what I mean by saying I was older then is that I was on a settling path toward retirement, picking up some hobbies, including writing, and now, just like the millennials, I'm considering reinventing myself.

Let's see what happens. Not sure I want to try to catch you up on the recent past or start fresh here. So for now, I'll say I've established my resurgence and am open to development.
