Typical interactions with Baxter
Posted on | January 30, 2012 | No Comments
Baxter arrives at the edge of the couch with the bone in his mouth.
Me: Squeaker. If you want me throw something, go get your squeaker.
Baxter: *looks around* but I already have the bone in my mouth.
Me: “Squeeek-errr”
Baxter: *drops bone on my laptop*
Me: yes, fine, you win. *throws bone*
Baxter: trollololol. I always win.
Why I’m going to try blogging again
Posted on | January 27, 2012 | No Comments
I think there are a couple reasons that I wanted to start blogging again…
The main reason is that I can’t say what I want to say in 140 characters on Twitter, or in the comments section of an article on somebody else’s website. I don’t want Facebook or Google+ to own my words or somehow develop a super profile about me because of keywords I’ve used in what I write. I need a place to say what I want to say, at my pace (with several drafts before I publish the final version), and with the knowledge that what I say is permanent and that people will be able to hold me accountable for what I say.
The other reason is that I want a place that I can start noting what’s going on in my life. For the last several years, I’ve felt like I don’t have a place to write about the big changes in my life… Though, I’m not sure I’ve really wanted to talk about it much either. It’s amazing how you can muddle through for a few years and then you make up for that in about a little over a year.
Although I probably won’t get too personal here, I think this will be a good place to write about the stuff I’m doing to my house, my planned travels, and my reasoning behind my beliefs/ideals.
In theory, this is perfect. In practice, we’ll see if I can keep it up.
