As the clock counts down toward 2012, it's really difficult to not think back on 2011 and the things that have happened in that 12 month span. This blog is usually a great guide to recap my year, but this has been a light year to say the least. One of my least posted years, and not much at all for the second half of the year with only 7 posts (including this one) after April ended.
I completely missed posting in November, which is unheard of for me considering my birthday is in that month. I'm only posting in December because I have time to do this now, and didn't put it off until tomorrow. Looking at the number of posts and where they were distributed begs a few questions about my posting. Primarily, is there something wrong or a reason I haven't posted much the last 8 months. The answers are no....but yes at the same time.
No there isn't anything wrong with me or what is going on in my life at this time. I am very happy where I am, and couldn't ask for more than I have right now. My life is better in many ways than I ever could have expected. That being said, I do have reasons for not posting pretty much everything I do or think here. First and foremost, I know I still have some people checking this blog that I'd rather not. I made the decision long ago to keep a public blog and never turn it private, and I've been on this blog for too damn long to change it and start over somewhere else. So I keep this one as my primary blog, and it will stay that way until I completely abandon it. Therefore, I have to pick and choose what I want to share with everyone, including those I don't want to share anything with anymore. If anything gets questioned in my head now, I usually won't put it up here.
Another reason I don't have as much to share anymore is lack of opportunity. I don't have as much time to waste by putting a blog post up. I have fewer chances to blog, and can't take away from the time I have for other things....so it doesn't get done.
Add to those the fact that I don't listen to music much anymore. Music has always been a huge part of my life, but as of late I don't listen to songs all that much. When I do, I usually don't have a way to record the names and artists of the songs so I can post a list of ten songs later. I made an attempt at this a couple months ago, but the post never made it up.
I could always lay out a plan for 2012 and say that I am going to blog more....but really, why bother? I always intend to blog more, but for one reason or another it just doesn't happen. So what do I expect for 2012 in terms of this blog? In a word, nothing. I won't place any expectations here at all and just be happy to read whatever I really feel like posting through the year when December 31st rolls around next year.
