I Left You But Never Went Anywhere At All

I have been away. That's not to say that I have not been where I usually am. I have not been on vacation or out of the country on business. I just have not been blogging. And for you, my readers, that means I have been away. In the abstract and non-phenomological terms of cyber space, I have been away.

But here I am. Writing to you. For you. To me. For myself. I am back.
Changed but the same. Different.

It has not been that I am without ideas. Ideas are the source, the point of departure, for all creative activity. I can think of in this moment many times in which I have been out and about living my life and an idea struck me. I have just been lazy. I have just been lazy and cowardly. I just have not put these ideas out there in cyber space. What good is an idea it is not shared?

So I have mustered the energy and the time to make time and energy to share my ideas with you, my dearest blogger friends. I have been neglecting you and I don't want to be that guy. You are important to me, both in your blogger cyberspace manifestations of your unique personalities, and you as people, as friends. So I reach out through non-spatial cyberspace with an idea to touch the lives and hearts of my online friends. I reach out with one single idea.

To be friends. To reach out. To share. To say something. Anything.
It is not the content. It is not the thought that counts either. It is the action that means the world. Or in this case, it is the action that means all of cyber space.

cyber space is brighter with you in it, Bedroom Prince.
And if you ever selfishly keep your ideas to yourself again, I will shank you and your family.

Blogging to blog about blogs are kinda self-refuting - they're like rock songs about rock singers. If the venue is legitimized only by self-reflection then, then, then I can think of far more productive intellectual pursuits. Like reading. Like reading blogs about blogs.

My blog wasn't just about blogging but about taking every opportunity to share, to say something, to connect. I obviously connected with you so it is obviously a worthwhile exercise. It is no the content that is of importance but the act. I think I say that in this blog too!

I love rock songs about rock singers. See: "Ziggy Stardust". It's a good one.
