No Excuses

Before any of you say anything, I'm sorry.  I know I haven't posted in nearly two months, and I won't make excuses.  It's summer, meaning I should have time to do totally pointless stuff like writing a blog.  Any normal person would have time for it.  Unfortunately, we have already established I am anything but normal.  Hence, my summer has been filled working 3 jobs (one of which I don't even get paid to do), preparing for college, and satisfying my obsessive compulsive disorder by organizing everything I see.  Yes, I am sick.  But I'm not making excuses.

However, I do feel the need to point out another reason I haven't posted in so long.  I am continually coming up with new ideas for blog posts and as I write them down in numerous lists, I find myself becoming more and more overwhelmed by the many potentially awesome posts in my future.  Then I begin thinking that I have no time and often no inspiration to finish them and they will hence suffer and turn out to be considerably less awesome than I had originally imaged them.  This foresight only discourages me from writing these posts.  Have I ever told you my worse fear is failing?  So, by not writing, I can't fail.  Sure I'm letting fear win, but I'd rather lose (and this reminds me, for all you players of The Game out there, including you Poncho, I lost), than fail.  And again, these aren't excuses.


However, I've decided to start writing again in attempts to get caught up on my ideas.  As much as I hate to admit it, I feel the need to give my overbearing friend and constant presence on this blog, Poncho, some slight credit in this decision.  His incessant, irritating reminders have driven me close to the blink of insanity (and by that I mean closer than I already am).  So, here you are Poncho.  I hope this declaratory post is enough to satisfy you.  I kept my promise and I will keep posting in the near future.

In fact, I'm going to go start another post right now.  If I'm lucky and I managed to stay focused, I may even get it done tonight.  Cheerio much appreciated readers (yeah I need to think of a better pet name for my readers.  Any ideas?)
