Consistency has never been my strong suit. Let me be really clear about that first and foremost.
Repetition, for me, in all eventuality devolves into a foreseeable boredom. Looking for something to counteract the monotony, new curiosities pop up in my mind -- gaudy yet irresistible carnival rides that force my current (and certainly less free-wheeling) endeavors to the quieter spaces of my mind. Such is the way when you deal with short term memory and a limited attention span.
So, I have to admit that cracking open my laptop and logging into my abandoned blog has a bit of a bittersweet tinge to it. On one hand, it's exciting to be tickling these illuminated keys, archiving my thoughts once more -- just one simple character at a time. On the other hand, I know the hidden itch that is sleeping just under the surface, waiting for me to be tempted away by an errant glimmer of fanciful newness.
Thankfully, a short term memory does have its pluses. As the saying goes, the old is indeed new again and here I am typing away at a blog that has been both showroom new and prematurely put to pasture. And now, once again, it's that first ride on the tilt-a-whirl that makes your stomach spin and drop.
I hope to turn the tide and make the ride last a little longer this time, but I won't make any promises. You know what they say about those.
Also, fair warning: in poking around, it may be a little cobwebby, the floorboards might squeak as you walk around and many of the lightbulbs may have very well burnt out -- but all the same, welcome back. I'm glad you came to visit.
