I’ve been neglecting… maybe I can put together something new soon…

I’m going to try this micro-blogging thing for a bit, and neglect my regular blog. Check me out at the top of my sidebar, or at my Jaiku page.

Check out what we do at work… or when we’re supposed to be working:

Sevnthsin Company Blog

My site will probably break for a couple of days… sorry.

Seems to be fully transferred over now.

Tanya has become the Blog Nazi as of late. Now, let’s get one thing clear: I’m thrilled to have at least one reader. Even if she is my ex-wife/slash/roommate/slash/mother-of-my-daughter, and thus somewhat obligated to check up on my blog to make sure I’m not smack-talking her, it’s still nice to have an audience. But, one thing that they should have told me when I signed up to Camp Blog-My-Life-Away is that you NEVER, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, want to live with your audience. Especially an audience that also blogs. It affords them way to many opportunities to guilt you into doing things.

Still… I can’t say she’s wrong. Mostly I’m just a (Choose one: lazy | busy) bastard.

Man, forget the future. My real live and my fictional lives are converging at an ever increasing rate. I already have problems separating dreams from reality, and now I’m verging on the possibility of having to get into conversations with myself. That’s just… weird.

I think the universe may be conspiring against me in order to drive me schizophrenic.

I’m starting a new format for my blog. I’m notorious for not posting, and I figured out why tonight. The issue is, I have a) not much time, and b) too much going on that writing about all of it feels like a daunting task, so I just avoid it. As a remedy for that, I’ve decided on a new system.

The idea is this: every two to three days, I will post a couple of things that I’ve learned over the last few days. These may be life lessons. They may be technical things. They may be little self-revelations. They may be things I actually always knew, but have just never written down. This gives me a mission statement, a focus, and a reason to write regularly.

With that out of the way, here’s what I learned today:

Having an audience is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have people’s attention. On the other hand, you’re expected to say something interesting.

Deciding to be in Chasing Windmills will be one of the things I will look back and say was a pivotal event in my life.

After 6 Red Bulls in the span of two hours, shooting pains run up and down my right arm. It’s three hours since I’ve had my last one, and my insides still feel weird and I’m kind of twitchy.

There may be some freakiness for a few days… hang in there.

I’m sorry to have to leave you this note, but, as I’m sure you’re already aware, things are done between us. You’ve been a good friend, a confidante even, but I’ve found someone else. Someone closer to my heart, someone more in line with my own beliefs and ideals. You’re beautiful, and maybe, one day, we’ll see each other again. But for now, this is something I have to do. Good luck, Blogger. I’m sure you’ll find another.

I’m number one again!

Man I love being number one!
