Have you ever started to start to say something and your mind goes blank? That is how I feel with this entry. I know I had something to say, but as I started to type the idea just vanished. I am not too worried because if it was worth writing about it will come back to me. If it doesn’t, then it probably wasn’t worth the effort anyway.
Instead of writing about some lost thought, I’ll admit that lately I have been wondering if blogging is worthwhile or not. Yes, I have contemplated buying the metaphorical bus ticket and heading out of Earletown. This I have threatened before on the site, but as I am pretty sure my wife is the only one that reads the blog, (she at least uses the blog to link to other blogs) the threats tend to go unheard. My mother doesn’t even read the blog, at least not since I exposed her bird phobia to the world a few posts back.
This is not me trying to coax compliments for any readers that could be out there somewhere. It is more to announce that I will NOT be stopping. I have realized that I cannot walk away. Blogging makes me feel too much like Doogie Howser. Well the similarities between us are outstanding. You remember how at the end of every episode he would write in his ‘computer diary’, well this is like my ‘computer diary’. He was a fourteen old doctor who was out to save the world. I am thirty something who sits in a darkened room alone to type and I live in the world. He was an adolescent with so much intelligence and goodness in his heart whose stories could only inspire hope. These he bottled up on his computer. I spelt both intelligence and goodness without using spell check and my heart pumped blood as I was doing it. Earletown is how I have been bottling up my stories of inspiration (of sorts) for a while now. Since Doogie no longer contributes, it is my responsibly to continue giving new hope to the world.
I know it is a lot of pressure on me, but I promise I will continue to do what I can and I will leave you with these simple words: Damn you Doogie Howser . . . damn you all to hell.
