If I don't blog it...what?
I spent some time with a friend of mine recently who asked why I didn't blog about it a few days later if I had such a good time. The truth is, I blog minutiae, stuff that I wouldn't mind telling a group of strangers at a cocktail party while sober. I also blog stuff I wouldn't mind a bunch of strangers knowing about me. In other words, hanging out with X friend was tres personal and I don't have much to share. I am not a fastidious, want to reach out to you, know me, know me, sort of blogger. Just because you don't read it here doesn't mean it didn't happen, or I didn't have fun doing it or I didn't find it interesting.
I also keep this blog primarily for friends and family. They all know what I am up too through this blog and it probably makes more sense to those who know me and can read between the lines.
I blog writing ideas I may or may not expand on later for mags, I blog things that will remind me of design ideas later, clips and URLs I want to keep but not have attached to a bookmark list ... see, simply, minutiae. Sometimes reading lists are too telling so I don't do the reading list (but I'm reading) or what I've been listening too sort of thing (though I've been pining for Townes Van Zandt and Tim Buckley's tunes). I will post announcements like:
This weekend I am purging of just about all my comics somehow. Claude? I kept a few like the Ivan Brunetti's and Twists but the rest...eh.
This blog began as a place where I could gather all things Kerouac and Beat to inform and entertain myself, but ended up as a place to store all those little mental notes, opinions and anecdotes that are insignificant in the bigger scheme of things. If you love me or know me this blog is nothing but a vital news source for all things Tera. If you don't know me I hope some of what I type out gives one a sense of solidarity (used as noun). Knowing that there is someone out there who may think along your lines in your world may be pleasing.
Disclaimer: There is so much to what goes on in a day and what makes impressions and what I find interesting and love and detest that this blog doesn't even really scratch the surface.
