Yeah, I lie...

Sometimes, that is. Not often, and not on purpose, but occassionally I lie about things. Like that previous post: "I'm really back!" Sure you are, Slyde. Sure you are!

I meant to be back, and I meant to stay here and put up more posts, but for some reason I forgot, or got too busy doing other things. But now, for now at least, I am back. For tonight. I won't guarantee anything beyond that.

I should. I love to write, even if it is in my first-person, conversational type mode that I do, but it is always good practice to sit down, start typing away on the computer and just bang out a few ideas about things. Like music, or writing, or my family, or general daily goings-on. For example, right now. What am I really talking about? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. But, if you are still here reading, it is apparently interesting enough to make you not turn away. At least... not yet!

So what was it I had hoped to accomplish with this blog? Not a whole lot really. Maybe a dialog for other people to read about things I have to say and start talking and thinking about things. Debate is a great way for your brain to keep active, and deciding "what is my opinion about something, and why" is a great way to get your mind active. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Hell, I hope at least a few people don't, cuz what kind of fun would that be? There's no debate, no application of thought, no sharing of ideas. I want to hear other people's ideas about things, and I want to know what they have to say about them.

Alas, I have failed in that pursuit. Barely anyone has read this blog, let alone commented enough to start any kind of lively - but polite! - debate. So, maybe that's part of the reason I never come back. Maybe those things that I have to say that I think are so interesting, really aren't that interesting after all. And thus, I start a conversation that, ultimately, is with myself and to myself. I mean, granted, that's generally how I do it anyway, but it would be nice if, after my little soliloquy is done, someone might have something to say, like "Slyde, you're a dough-head! That's not true; here's the truth for ya..."

Ah well. C'est la vie, as they say in the movies.

Maybe I'll come back tomorrow.

Maybe next week... or, maybe next year. Who knows.

Say something, and maybe it'll be sooner!


Or, maybe I am just talking to myself... hello? Is there anybody out there? Helllooooooooo....?


Cheers!

Slyde
