This year marks 20 years of blogging for me, but don't get the wrong impression; that is not at all a reflection of commitment to a project, as there have been several years in-between posts at times along the way. This return to posting again now actually, is after a long long period of neglect - years. And the last journey in updating this space back in 2018 to 2020 is not even something I kept in the end, removing a dozen or so more personal posts about my adventure moving to PEI. I ended up telling those stories elsewhere, and wanted to refocus this place. And that's what I'm here doing now, trying to anyway.
Every single time I come back to blogging here, I massively regret not sticking with it in a more dedicated way - a post a week even, a month! The process of writing is healthy for my mind, and I really enjoy this project of mine, so really feel dumb for not just doing it. Blogging has always fascinated me though, as has social media and the whole internet all around. I joined Blogger back in 2005 when there wasn't any big social media platforms out there. These spaces were the start of what would later become Facebook and Twitter and all the rest really. But it all started with blogging in my opinion. And I really wish I kept at it. Ugh. Same goes for the many many other platforms or programs I've tried along the way.
In this iteration of my obsessions, I'm going to focus more on the internet itself, online activities, and social media specifically, with some podcast talk mixed in. I've always been an active person online, trying out many new promotion projects for blogs or otherwise, or taking a stab at ad networks, or affiliate programs to help make a few dollars for the efforts. I feel this space could be a place for me to explore all that way more, as I have other areas to release my political side elsewhere. Not to say I wont dive into that from time to time too, because I will. This blog has always been a mixed bag of my mind, and I think the many things I've talked about is in itself a reflection of how my brain works. Extreme dedication to something until a period of exhaustion, and then I move on to the next thing I'm working on. I really hope to not fully move on from this place again, not for so long certainly. Maybe after 20 years, this time saying that will stick. We shall see.
