I have been umming and ahhing about whether to keep trying to write a blog post each day and even whether to bother maintaining this blog at all. If truth be told I am really not sure why I have this blog site, why I want to write on it, what I hope to achieve by putting effort into it etc. But what I do know is that even though I don’t spend a lot of time crafting my entries (understatement of the year) I do spend SOME time on it, and then because I do this I also spend some time looking to see whether anyone has visited (even though I say that I don’t care) and I spend quite a lot of time on any given day thinking about the fact that I still have to write an entry for the blog or thinking about what I could write that entry about. If I am honest with myself, it’s not really a productive or sensible use of my time, and I probably do it just to avoid doing something more productive or sensible.
I was thinking about all of this earlier today and although I came to the conclusion that I ought really just to close it down, I can’t quite bring myself to do that (yet). In my true indecisive style I think I am going to takes a holiday from writing daily entries (writing any entries in fact). I think I will remove the ‘Streaks’ page so that I don’t feel the need to maintain it, but I will keep my lists of books, films, races going if only because I don’t have any other good place to put these yet and it would be a shame to lose, or break, these historical records of my activity until I am more sure how I want to go forward with things.
All of which means that this will be my last entry here for a while – how long is anyone’s guess, I certainly have no idea. Adios amigos.
