I Almost forgot

I think it’s about time to break the ice and wipe the dust off of this blog. I’ve been holding out on writing the past couple weeks, really for no apparent reason. It took me for awhile to get back into real world mode after Cancun. I don’t know why, but I was just out of it for about a week and a half. Physically I was in Michigan, but part of my brain was still kickin it on the beach, while the other half of my brain was dead weight. It was weird, but I think I’m good now.
It hasn’t just been this blog that I’ve neglected, my design blog hasn’t gotten much attention either. It took a commenter on my site for me to realize something that was long forgotten. For some random ass reason, I started thinking about goals for my site (not this one). I was drawing blanks. I was then trying think of where I wanted the goal to go. Again, drew blanks. So one of my readers said that he doesn’t have goals for his own site. He just blogs because he likes to blog.
That’s what I forgot. Not so much with this site, but I really had forgot that the original reason I even started that blog was because I just like to write about design. So then we come to this site, and I definitely don’t think of writing here as a chore, but in conjunction with that, where do I want this site to go? Well, physically, I will be moving it to a new domain name in the near future, which has already been purchased. That will be philly-style.com. The site is not up yet, but I’ll keep you posted. I tried to purchase phillyblog.com but it’s already owned.
I want to get it away from where it is now. I think the personal side of my writing needs to stand on it’s own two. I want to give the site more identity. Add a feature or two to liven shit up. Of course I have ideas, but free time I haven’t……ok, I’m lying, I’ve had a lot of free time since being back from vacation, but just haven’t felt like it.
Soon enough though. Things will get back in order, and I’m looking forward to having a new site. I’m over this site and design. I need something fresh. Then all will be good…..but for now, I’m outro.
Peace
