Things to do in 2009: Be overwhelmed by the scope of other bloggers
My old friend Ben Goldfein has been running this blog by the name of “My Checklist” over the course of this year. It was first brought to my attention when he posted about my Monkey on the Lam top 50 tracks of 08 playlist, and in my blog-curiosity I went back to it today, and found myself amazed at how much content (and variety) was crammed into the pages.
I can aspire to be this interesting here, but also: where the hell will I find the time? Not to say that Ben isn’t a busy man, I’m certain that he is, but I feel like I am already struggling to get a daily post in as it is… dropping 20 bombs in the course of a day seems a harrowing task. Perhaps other bloggers (I’m looking at you Ben, and hoping you see that I’m dropping this link) can lead me in the right direction. How does one find enough things to write about? Granted, there is a ton of stuff happening, but I don’t want to just ape other blogs, and I don’t want to start vomitting my personal life onto the page, for a myriad of reasons. I’ve written about dreams before and the imagry is interesting in my head but tends to be dull on the page (shocker).
For the time being, I suppose I will continue to post old artwork until I have the rest of the page finished, and beyond that, we’ll see where it goes. Oh yeah, I need to get the wordpress sidebar in here somehow. God, why am I having such trouble understanding div tag positioning. /wrists
