It's Over...?

I've fallen out of love with blogging.

I'm sorry for the extended absence, post-trip. I'm playing catch up on my real life here at home. Work, school, you know the drill. Graduation is right around the corner - December 15th, and my classes are the most challenging I've had in my academic career. My brain is getting more than its share of exercise.

Which brings me to my short and sweet point. it's time to make a decision: to blog, or not to blog - that is the question. Lately, I've felt like this whole site is an exercise in mental masturbation, with an audience (albeit, limited) to view it. I'm running out of things to talk about, namely because I'm focused like-a-laser-site at all things MBA. While that makes for stirring academic discussions, it's not post worthy.

And honestly - my colleagues are getting so much better at focusing on other things. Of course, EJFlavor's music is outta control, as is ToddKelley's and HoneySoul's. Fave's holding it down on the relationship front. HumanityCritic and LynneDJohnson hold down music and culture reviews. And Crunktastical is holding down celebrity gossip and culture. I could go on, but you get the idea.

And here I am, with a thousand things that I need to do (find a new gig, start a new biz, finish the two books I've started, raise my son, etc.) and what am I doing? Still trying to find my voice and carve out my own space with this blog.

Hmph. I'm unimpressed with my own performance, honestly. Not on some grass is greener (I love other blogger's, so it's not really envy), but because I cannot dedicate the time and effort I need to: a) maintain the site (my design is 2 years overdue), b) post as often as I'd like and c) provide you with the content I'd like to share.

So - on September 29th I'll update my 101 in 1001 - yanno, that list of tasks I took on 1001 days ago? I'll let you know how much I completed. And then - an indefinite hiatus. Maybe permanent. We'll see.
