Blogging for the sake of blogging
Hmm.... Lessee... Whine about my train commute? Nah…done that. Bitch about the weather? No, did that in January. Nobody seemed to care then either. Share a funny office anecdote? Yeah, I wish. Complain about my fantasy baseball team’s performance? Oh…that’s right – I didn’t join a league this year.
Wow. Talk about a lack of material. It’s a good thing I put the site on hiatus for the summer. Otherwise, you would have been reading more of this dynamic drivel over the past few months.
The good news is, it appears that the batteries may be charging, as this has been the first blog entry since April. Not sure what prompted it, except that a few of the other 2 Walls writers have been making a fairly good effort to maintain their blogs. Perhaps some of the others are itching to get back in the groove.
One thing’s for sure – the hiatus hasn’t put a halt to the number of indie CDs arriving in my mailbox. I’ve got quite a stack of music that need to be listened to. My apologies to those who have sent materials over the past few months. Since going on hiatus, I have purposely avoided all things “2 Walls Webzine” related, which includes listening to new music, writing, blogging, checking email and harassing the staff. (With the sole exception of the review I wrote for The Thieves’ Tales From The White Line in June. I’d been expecting that CD for a while and it blew me away, so I had to write about it.)
Speaking of harassing the staff – turns out they don’t find me as annoying as I find myself sometimes. Shortly after shutting things down for the summer, Webb and Orcutt figured out a way to leave the big city and came up to the country for a BBQ at my place. In an elegantly, duct taped wrapped box they presented me with a gift from the 2 Walls staff. An iPod mini. Complete with several illegally shared mixed music CDs to load on to it. Thanks guys!
As far as the plan for 2 Walls Webzine – I can confidently say that I definitely don’t have a plan. And you can hold me to that if you like. Truth be told, I feel like the batteries are charged and I’m itching to write, but I still need to be inspired. Perhaps I’ll start wading through the mountain of CDs sitting on my desk, or start paying closer attention to politics and world news. It’s just that I’ve sort of enjoyed being unplugged for the past 3 months. I don’t think I’m ready to jump into the deep end of the pool yet. So I should probably ease into it. Perhaps this blog is the start of my inspiration.
