Substance.

No, not a fitting title for this post, as it has none. Not much anyway, it's more about the subject of substance.. I suppose that is a fitting title then. I used to dream about having a blog that was about stuff.. you know, things going on in the world, ideas, interesting stories that illustrate a wider subject, something universal, something important.

I think I had a sorta half assed version of that once.. it's been about 4 years or more since I've been writing about nothing but what's going on, or what's not going on with me, or the occasional pondering of why I have nothing to write about and isn't it crap.. ie, you're reading it.

I suppose it shouldn't matter.. one can blog about whatever one wishes to blog about, and if people wish to read, they can.. I just wish.. I dunno.. I did it a bit better.. and stuff.

It might be a bit early for this..

but I'm making a half hearted resolution to start writing properly. Lately.. if you've noticed and you probably haven't seeing as you, the public are not reading, as this blog is crap, but if you have then you might have noticed that lately, and by lately I mean something like 2-3 years.. my writing has been little more than the jotting down of thoughts as they come to me...

I mean I used to write proper posts.. I mean, comparatively proper. I even used to have subjects, and write about "stuff" as opposed to what I've been doing, or that I've been doing nothing worth writing about but writing about it anyway, or writing about writing about doing nothing worth writing about.. I could go on.. and I used to write in a slightly more.. shall I say.. readable manner.

I would like to get into the habit of doing that again.. more, is all I'm sayin.

Stuff... and stuff.

I remember once upon a time I used to have stuff to write about. Or I remember a time, more than one time, on and off I wrote lots.. and most of those times I would look back upon a golden age where I used to write about "stuff" and not just stuff.. you know.. my diary sort of thing. There was a time when I used to do it, I think. Actual posts about actual.. um.. well written or an attempt at good writing about something in particular. I think I did, or maybe I just always looked back to a time when I did.

I don't do that anymore. I sometimes think I did it more recently than I did but for the last 2, 3 maybe 4 years the bulk of my writing, when I in fact do write is stuff like my day.. what I'm complaining about at the mo.. dorkism or this kind of thing, which is blogging about blogging but not very intensively.. just sort of rambling. And then there's the just sort of rambling but not about anything in particular, sort of a cross between the first one and this one.

If you followed all that I'll give you a gold star.

Ok, the situation is.

I'm online. Sorta.

So I'll be writing for the moment (however long that moment is.. 3 to ? days) if I have anything to write about.

I don't have anything to write about, so that's why I'm not writing now.

March seems to be..

my lazy month. With regards to blogging anyway. I've been unusually slack this month, and I'm afraid not having anything to write about is no excuse as that, as anyone (assuming there's someone still out there, which on second thoughts I seriously doubt) who has been following this blog recently will know.

I was about to write "will no" there, in the previous paragragh. Fancy that.

It's a nice day today. This spring thing seems to be working out for me.

I thought I'd update my profile pic..

I thought it was time to do it. I have so many photos of me now cos I'm doing the 365 thing there were a fair few to choose from. The one that got the nod is the "reject" if you like from day #36, where I moan on about being grown up and how it feels so unlike me etc etc etc as I've gone on so many times, hence the braids, which look silly and I'm way too old to be sporting that look yes I know, I know, I know!!!!

I updated the word bit of the profile too, mostly to shorten it and keep to the basics, which I thought was more appropriate considering the path I've been taking lately. Or ever.

Just so you know.

Well..

It seems as though someone has a case of blogger's block. Is it a Jan thing? I have a vague feeling that I go through this every year this time, not that I don't for small periods at any time, but always at the beginning of the year.

It's based on nothing but a feeling, and I could be wrong, and I can't be bothered to look it up but in any case it's happening right now.

JMG!

I thought I was a dork but..

I was going to do a filler post today, not of the days o the week dorkims kind, but one about how I can't even do that because I can't think up a Tuesday appropriate stupid question, because I wanted to make this month the one I do a blog post every day, but I just went through the last few and I failed to post on April the 2nd. So I won't bother doing that. No need to post at all today..

oh wait...

Still not doing it..

Nut.. I actually had a second wind of inspiration about the thing I was going to write about but then didn't end up writing about and then wrote about not writing about.. but.. I started on something else I wanted to do, which took a lot of my time, and then I had to go to the post office and had to come back and on the way back had a beer and...

well anyway I didn't end up writing it.
