1125739_busy_businessman_4Today is my 30th birthday. I have summer band this morning, and then not much else planned the rest of the day. I’ll probably end up writing a more substantial blog article about this later on.

On that note, I have been out of touch with the blogging world lately. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that I have become quite busy in the “real world” and blogging takes a back seat to all of that. This has really been the case since April and many of you have probably noticed quite a downswing in the number of articles I have written. I also fall behind in reading.

When I first started blogging, it served to fill in the blanks in my life. When I found myself staying home most every night and going out only for school-related activities, it was a choice of either spending all night on MySpace or Facebook looking for new friends, instant messaging, watching TV, or reading and writing blogs.

Now that things have stepped up, I love having thise resource here, but I also feel obligated at times to write. I find that when I write out of obligation, the content is not usually very interesting or good. So I just usually don’t.

I have had a few requests from people for me to write variuous things lately and have been tagged in memes some as well. If that’s you, I want to thank you. I also want to assure you that it will eventually get written! I just need to find some time, energy, strength, and motivation. Hang in there!

But for now, time to get to summer band!

      I like to read your blog and the descriptions in it, not regularly but occasionally. It’s balm to the soul to read about other people’s solving problems.
