Blog promise

I would love to be able to blog regularly again.

So many tedious details get in the way of doing the things you want to do, things that society deems important for one to be part of the structure. Naturally some things get sacrificed. It's funny because the irony of it is that, in order to do what it is you want, you have to give it up to do things that will carve out the path for you to be able to what it was you sacrificed doing in the first place. Wait, is that an irony, or a paradox?

Case in point: me. I have to accomplish so many peripheral things to be able to just blog! What's funny is that, if I wasn't sick and alone, I wouldn't even have these few minutes to put down these thoughts.

And here I am dreaming of becoming a new media scholar.

I am making it point then, from this moment on, to blog at least once a week -- for now -- and reestablish myself in the blogosphere. I promise to write down musings on the Internet, new media, youth, kids, convergence, television, new media literacy, and empowerment. And gender. And creativity.

I promise to stop making excuses and start sweeping away the tedious details that are giving me such a roundabout path to what I want. There are more important things to do thin obsess about the inconsequential minutiae.
