Finding the reasons

I just finished reading through nearly all of my blog posts. Six years worth of posts takes about five hours to read. I realized last night that my writing has, of late, taken a plunge for the worse - both in quantity and quality. I was looking for clues as to the paradigms shifts within my blogging. The first came nearly five years ago when I moved from Trinity to Des Moines and made my writing, in my opinion, quite good. The second happened not too long ago. As I said, this second shift has made things worse. I think that the shift has not yet set in permanently, so I can change it. I won't note what has caused the shift, but I know what it is and I'm not entirely proud of it.

I think that my life might have been more exciting in the golden years of bloggage, and I was glad to write about that excitement. A lot of it had to do with the ambiguity of my life. Maybe that means that my life is currently boring and maybe that's because I have a three-year plan. I can admit to be boring, and there is a desire to change that. I'm working on it.

Many of my posts had a common topic - current infatuations and females in general. I'm far less prone to write out my thoughts on females anymore, that's probably for the best. Though it could make my posts more entertaining.

While reading through those golden years I noticed how many of the comments still made me smile. A large number of comments come from the following people: Jorb, Jess, Kate G., Bradley, Danijo and Stefiny. Most of Brad's comments end with him proposing that we make out. Most of Josh's comments make no sense whatsoever. They're all beautiful.

I hope that in six years I am reading this post and thinking to myself, "You were right to change things up, it definitely shows in your writing. And your hot wife." you have my love.

all of your blog entry now shows up in my reader rather than just the first three sentences and that makes me happy
