So it's occurred to me recently that I haven't written anything relevant in the past five years; not that what I've written beforehand had any relevance to begin with, but that's another point. I finished with The Enterprise after the summer of 2008 and since then, I went straight into the grocery world that is Trader Joe's. I think I made a couple cover letters and re-wrote my resume, but seeing as how I still bag and stock away in Store #138, I guess the relevance is lost there as well.
What I'm trying to say is, I don't want to find truth in the saying "if you don't use it, you lose it."
So, here I am. Only thing is, what the hell do I write about?
I've had friends move on to become doctors, publicists, actors, producers, musicians and more and I'd be thrilled to hear what they have to say. I'm sure none of you want to hear about my daily routine. I paid my bills! I won an ARAM on League of Legends! I 4-0'd my last FNM at Card Kingdom! I called my Girlfriend! I cooked piccata last night! None of those have an allure to them, so what's the use?
It all goes back to that saying. Just because I have nothing to really write about doesn't mean I walk away from this and think of something else to do. Maybe I want to start writing again. Oddly enough, I just don't know how.
I always tell people that I hate blogs. I don't like the idea of people getting paid to just throw their opinions to the masses and call it "news." I'm hypocritically drawn to talk radio, however, and I find myself up late at night drawn to HuffPo and other various hubs of people spewing their drivel and "enlightening" their base. Despite the fact that I'm not being paid to do this (yet), I guess I have to make a compromise, and you're reading the end result. If nothing else, maybe this paves the way for something greater.
So what will I write about? Who knows? I'll seldom write about my past. These two have that experience covered. I'll try to stick in the now. Maybe an MtG event report here and there, or thoughts on rule changes or new sets. I might post a food blog. I might talk sports. Hell, I might even throw in a life experience or two. Truth is, I'm going into this whole thing quite blind, but writing something clearly trumps writing nothing at this point.
I don't want to end this with some dopey cliche like "so enjoy the ride!" but at the same time, I hope you'll come back once or twice more. It'd mean a lot.
