I had a sudden revelation a few hours ago: No one reads my blog anymore. The only reason that I used to try to post at a certain time is because I had hundreds of hits everyday. I wanted people to know when to expect a post so they can take their time to visit me. "Jay usually posts at night so I'll check before I go to sleep." You know? That was the whole purpose of that. It's just not the same anymore. I'm not writing for a bunch of readers right now. My main focus is me; therefore, I'm going to post whenever I feel like it. Don't worry, I'll still post once a day. I like seeing the consistency in the dates. Is that weird? It's all about the aesthetics, man!
Speaking of consistency: This post is going to knock off all of the old posts from the front page! I have no idea why I'm so excited about that. There is going to be a whole front page of just my new writings. Isn't that dope? Okay, I'm nerdy. So what? I run Blogger. What? Okay. Seriously, this is turning into somewhat of a 365 project, right? I wonder if I have to focus to write a post every single day. I'm claiming it right now. I want to make this a 365 project from the time I came back to Blogger. I don't even believe in myself enough to do that! I'm kidding. I'm not making this a 365. Hell, all of my blogs are a look back into my life. Why do I need to label it? I'm fine with what it is.
Guess what? I didn't post on Tumblr yesterday. The only blog that received a post from me is this one. Isn't that grand? You don't have to be so jealous anymore. Well, I'm going to go write there as soon as I finish up here. I have a few things on my mind that I need an audience for. I like the instant feedback a lot. Sometimes I write for me and sometimes I write so that people can read it. I don't think that's vain of me. I'm pretty well rounded with the balance. Don't you agree?
I have blogging OCD. Have you noticed that all of my posts have to be four paragraphs long? I know that can be a bit strenuous on my readers. I should just make a small post that you can read and move on with your lives. Nope, I always take a few minutes of your time. I don't know, it's just for the look I guess. Sometimes I don't even know that it's four paragraphs. I don't stop writing until I decide that I'm finished. I never have anything in mind with a starting and stopping point. Writing is like art to me: It's never really finished until it is. I can always go back and add more. I do it all the time with short stories. Like now. I'm deciding that I'm finished no matter how abrupt it may seem.
