So I was thinking last April, “I will write something again in that blog now that: it has been a year since I started it; I miserably failed my pseudo-goals for it; the inspiration for my first topic, Easter, is coming up/is upon me/passed already and could be a sort of reprise for this year”.
Needless to say, I didn’t do it. If you look at the date here, it is the last day of May 2009, It would be more fitting to celebrate my “A title for this“ anniversary—which by the way might celebrate the spirit of this blog better. There are a total of nine posts in this blog that is over a year old. Wait, no, ten now.
However, there are things to celebrate with myself about this post. This is the first post I do in 2009. This is the first post I do using a Mac (which I have been using for half a year already). This is the first post I do since October 2008, back when in a time when I barely cared about politics, I decided to post about them (In contrast to now when I am somewhat more involved with the topic, and probably don’t feel that differently about it.)
What can I say of this time? More politics, more work, less art (not that I am an artist, but most of the words in this whole blog were devoted to two posts which rambled about it). I have not read a whole book since. No, wait I read Coraline. I have barely done writing of any kind, including not writing that many quality emails, which were at some point my main outlet for writing. Yet, I have kept myself busy.
It has been good busy. Interesting things have happened. Good things even. Summer is always a breaking point. It all starts around May. Subtly anyway. Then it develops into a something completely different for my life by the fall. It happened in 2006. It probably happened in 2007 in not a such exciting way if it did. It definitely happened in 2008 (actually, didn’t I kind of blog from April-May to October and then stopped?) It sort of happened in years before that too, but I am set not to make the effort to mentally corroborate this for each. And it feels like it is happening in 2009.
Is this interesting enough for a post? You don’t have to answer.

Yeah! I don’t have to answer but I will, it’s for sure interesting enough. Your pattern for writing is kind of awesome, in a way. Not in the way that means we have to wait chunks of the year between posts, but I mean, if that is the case you at least own it. I don’t know if I even knew you got a Mac… do you like it? I’m on the verge of a new computer but I think I want to stick with a PC. Anyway, I’m looking forward to hearing what transformation (can I call it that?) you experience over the next few months. Yeah!
