Ah blog, oh blog. I have been absent for a bit. I believe I am experiencing an over stimulation of digital accessories. I am an old soul you know. A soul made of paper and ink and jazz and texture. My body, however, is here, in a world so generously graced with glowing screens in varying sizes. They are amazing, that is for sure. I am a sucker for a good, overly-dramatic Facebook status, and blogs are wonderful things to follow - though I perhaps follow a particular few too closely, and Twitter hooked me by its little birdy feet as well. Through these new social outlets I am told I will increase my marketability, because what employer does not want someone who speaks Tweet? So I cannot and will not discredit them, I am depending upon them for my future. I will not sell my soul to them though. In order to fill the space behind that incessant blinking cursor I must allow myself to escape to the physical world occasionally. Remember what a pen feels like between my fingers. And I encourage that we all do this. Appreciate the opportunity and connectivity that technology has provided without forgetting about the tangible mediums. Books. Journals. Face to face conversations.
Therefore tonight I will post this small post in order to keep up with the digital world, and then write in a more tangible way in order to keep my connection to the real world. Perhaps in some ironic way this new approach will simultaneously make me a more productive blogger and truer to my old soul. I appreciate all well wishes in this endeavor. Bon soir!
