It's stuck in my head at the moment, that Jack Johnson tune about the good people. Where'd they go, the good people? Reminiscing about a time a year ago when my list of blog buddies was miles long, the daily reading more than I could keep up with, the comment threads spirited, lively...
Then the summer came and went, and something happened...
Weddings, masters degrees, civil discontent, falling in love...whatever. "My" bloggers dropped like flies. The blogscape (I prefer that to "blogospere") became a little more bleak...a little more lonely. Where'd T go? Come back, Paige. Banana, I miss you...
Mere's stuck with it. I dig Mere. Her page is pink. I dig pink. She manages amazing poignancy in the middle of day-to-day anecdotes about her life...I like reading about other people's daily grind, getting caught off guard by something disarmingly touching and realizing we're all pretty similar, really...
At any rate, since I'm feeling generally repressed and uninspired by the back-breaking combination of a heavy work load, nearly full-time school, tight-as-they've-ever-been finances (ever-expanding hips) and TERRIBLY FEBRUARY-LIKE WEATHER IN MAY, I've decided to recommit myself to The Joy of the Blog. A creative outlet in my otherwise drone-like working-stiff existence in RainCity these days.
And I shall rediscover new and wonderful blogs and be inspired by people that, today, I don't even know exist.
Just know, long-lost blog-buddies, I miss you!
