So here's the story. I've been "blogging" on the web long before anyone knew what it was. I loved to write for the web, posting my ideas, opinions and other stuff for dozens of people to read (only dozens because it was long before good search engines). But eventually everyone was able to blog, I no longer felt special and my drive to write for an anonymous audience left me. So I stopped blogging and pulled a SOPA on myself!
Then I started a podcast. That was the ticket. Podcasts were not as mainstream yet, so I felt a bit like a rebel. But then that became popular (the medium of podcasting, not my podcast) and I began to question why I was doing any of this.
And then it hit me. I had started to fall into the, "I care what other people think" mode of thinking. WTR (what the regis) was wrong with me? I mean OMFR (oh my fraking regis)! What had come over me? Caring about what other people think! How dare I!
Well, that's going to stop. And I'm going to start up again - blogging about whatever the hell I feel like and podcasting about whatever the hell I feel like. I'm moving domain names around and working on a way to shave my sites down into just a few. I'll have the podcast site (http://regisjack.com), my blog/writing site (this site, but have a few domains point to it), my professional site (the site under my own name - for my day job) and finally my religion site (a work in progress - had a domain, but never followed through).
2012 will be a year I take back myself and my multiple personalities and get back to being me.
Thanks for listening (or reading), sorry you had to hear (or read) it.
