Blog Envy

Yeah, so it turns out that I suck at keeping up this blog. The funny thing is that there a a couple blogs I read religiously, like click on twice a day when I get bored (see the list on the right side of my blog page). And... I get kind of pissed when one of them doesn't update anything new for days at a time (or weeks at a time, for that matter). Is there a bigger waste of fifteen seconds of my life than to type in a web address of a blog, only for it to open (finally) and find the same post I read three times already this week? There is one blog in particular that I swear I will never read again, since she only updates the damn thing once a month, maybe. But there I go, clicking away everyday, just in case there is something new to read.

So who am I to complain, really, when I never update my own blog? I suppose I could come up with some lame excuses: 1) I am too busy; 2) when I think of witty original thoughts to post, I am nowhere near a computer (and refuse to blog on the little keyboard of my phone); 3) no one reads this blog anyways so what's the point (read: I keep forgetting to tell people about it's existence); 4) Yo no se. In reality, it is a combination of those things.

The solution is to move blogging further up in my everyday consciousness; make it part of my routine before bed or something (on the days I get to go to bed). Maybe I can take little notes on Post-Its as genius phrases come to me and save them for later. All in all, I aspire to be like my favorite ER doc/blogger Shadowfax, who seems to always manage to post something about clinical work, politics, life, or a combination every single day (sometimes more than one). I don't know how you pull it off, good sir, but I will try to figure it out.

In short, I will do my best, and try to post more, so be patient. And if my lack of posting pisses you off, just send me an email and say so (and I will be sure to post more often, spreading dirty scandalous lies about you on the internet).
