excuses


I haven’t posted anything in a while. In more than a year. As in nothing at all for 2018. Well, there are many factors,er, excuses I can think of why I'm in such a slump for quite some time now

Discipline. I just don’t have it. Before, I was committed to write at least five hundred words in a day. I even used to keep a journal for that. Now, my thoughts are just expressed on a tweet or two. So, no one else is at fault but me you see.

I write at work day in day out. My job entails writing a synopsis of what had transpired and expressed my "thoughtful observation" about it viz a viz the established processes. I might be using the same catch phrases or rehashing the same sentences over and over but hey it still writing. Of some kind. Anyways, one could argue that the writing style at work is a different from what I am blurting out in here. My counter argument is that I’m just tired. That’s all. Sure, I can face the computer again by the time I got home but my brains are begging not to write again please.

Just recently, I tried to write, in longhand mind you, but it only lasted for about a week.

I am also wasting my time consuming media content. Most of my free time is consumed by YouTube. I spend at least an hour everyday watching some random videos the algorithm has to offer. And then there’s Netflix of course. You know how it is when you go on binge watching mode.

And then there’s this issue about privacy. I am writing anonymously on this blog I know. However, there’s no denying that there are some people on this planet that knows my real identity. You know, those in the position or those who have the technical know-how that can track me down. That’s  the downside of having this technology in these troubled times that we live in. Nothing can be private anymore as long as you are using a piece of tech. Am I being paranoid? Yes.

So there. Anyways, I hope I can post again something soon. Haha.
