…It has been two months since my last post. The biggest sin
of all is that in that particular post I promised I’d be back soon! Obviously I
was in an optimistic mood that evening. Said post was sincerely intended to be
a preliminary, re-introductory set-up to my return to the blogosphere, just as
this is now. Lessons have indeed been learned that post, however.
Tonight I do not mean to make any more unfulfilled promises
of regular postage – I’ve learned to accept the fact my free (i.e. blogging)
time has been sucked into a vacuum of local intrigue and mundane mystery – but I can tell you the compulsion to return to
this weird and wonderful world of whimsy and marvel has been growing.
The intention behind the last failed post was to rekindle
the addiction which in the past had me dependent on my dashboard, and hooked on
the hokum. (You’re all some craic!) Like an alcoholic sipping the nectar of the
gods for the first time in a decade, I expected the lingering taste to consume
me once again, filling me with the unquenchable desire to log in and cop out,
just as in the glory days of old.
Yet it came and waned, too easily ignored my liking. I have
many friends in this little corner of cyberspace (you all know who you are),
and just like my friends in whatever the non-cyberspace alternative is (some
people call it real life, but personally I find that a tad philosophically contentious),
I have neglected you all for the sake of everyday survival-esque pseudo-necessity.
Sorry about that.
But you don’t want to read yet another guilt-ridden apology –
I’ve already said sorry for not having called by to say hello so many times I’d
imagine it’d be insulting to ask for forgiveness yet again. Instead
I’d just like to say ‘hello’. ‘hope you are well’, and ‘promise I’ll be back
tomorrow’. (Whoops, didn’t mean to do that!)
