Oh blog, how I have forsaken you.

There’s far to many dumb excuses as to why I haven’t written in such a long time.  Most of my reasons are more about my ever changing take on life and redefining how I address the world around me.  Don’t worry, nothing life shattering or even controversial (although I suppose that would be fun), nope, it’s more about just looking at the world and not dividing myself up anymore.  I have 11 incomplete draft posts awaiting me and close to 100 “starred” items in my Google Reader to blog about.  So it isn’t a lack of ideas or content, it’s been simply a break to observe.

One of the repeating things in my life that causes me to pause my blogging is how wrapped up I can get in what people may or may not think about what I write me, since my friends come from all sides, from neo-conservative, to neo-liberal sometimes I find myself trying to please everyone… The funny thing is, it just makes my posts long-winded… and not much else. In the end I realize I just need to speak my peace, not be concerned with pleasing people, but instead I want to engage and encourage.  If I need to bring clarity to something, I will… in time, if I feel something isn’t represented well enough.

Yup, I think that’s what I want to say – meh… if not… people will figure it out over time.

  • @trimet policy to consider? or at least automated anncmnts stating the current policy, music as an example. Other transit agencies do this. #
  • @trimet @maxfaqs Yup makes sense, just a suggestion since this is becoming more of a problem, maybe clarify with new signs in the ad space? #
  • @trimet @maxfaqs Also, most people when approached by other riders, even fare inspectors, try to argue or get upset & calling the operator.. #
  • @trimet @maxfaqs provokes these people even more, and they argue with the operator… unless the operator actually quotes the code. #
  • First a birthday bash, then sushi, next up Church, and after…??? @ Sushiville http://t.co/HnAyVXzj #

  • Well, there's always a first, after four years riding MAX everyday, my train is "that train" — the broken one. #TriMet #SkimoreFountain WB. #
  • And we're rolling again after cutting the back car, #MiniMax #TriMet #
  • @maxfaqs lol – well, it was a type 1 that was cut away… so our type 2 probably got a little sportier… at least the hard stops ended! #
  • #Question Do you prefer to watch a video for 2 to 3 minutes or read a post for 2 to 3 minutes? #
  • @trimet The automated "reminders" on MAX & busses (particularly MAX though) need to tell users they must use headphones to listen to music. #
  • Did we get teleported to the southern hemisphere? http://t.co/bLeHNXSV #

  • @Justinstweets9 not so sure on that, well maybe. Green energy is a ways off for most. #
  • Perfect day: date with Emma, family time, self time, friends, good weather, and now ending it with a sci-fi flick! #
