As we near the end of my year of blogging, I will admit that there have been times when I\u2019ve sat in front of my keyboard, looking at an empty text box, wondering what coherent and interesting thoughts I could type out that day.<\/p>\n
While I wouldn\u2019t go so far as to consider an entry a day a burden (or at least, a burden of any meaningful size), there have been days were I have gotten by with simply a single paragraph of text or a picture or video, instead of something longer.<\/p>\n
And the times at which I\u2019ve made my entry have also fluctuated. If you go back to the days and weeks following my birthday, I would often write in the mornings, right after waking up, or in the early afternoon. Nowadays, I almost always write my entry right before bed and \u2013 recently \u2013 often past midnight.<\/p>\n
The fact that I consider it a part of my day is interesting; no matter how tired I may be, I know that I\u2019m obligated to write an entry before I\u2019m allowed to sleep. But it\u2019s not so much an obligation that feels like a chore. Instead, it\u2019s a bit like the obligation of making soup for your sick spouse; you know you have to do it, but you don\u2019t mind it one bit.<\/p>\n
How time flies, though. I can\u2019t believe that it\u2019s almost February, almost my birthday, almost my baby\u2019s birthday. I\u2019m excited for all these things, as well as the upcoming release of Mass Effect 2, season premiere of Lost, and the Colts-Saints Super Bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
