Vacation

Seems that I've been on a rather extended hiatus from this little hobby of mine. I'm not exactly sure how it is that I managed to go so long without sharing any of my deep and provicative thoughts with you. Part of it goes back to my oft mentioned struggle with self-censorship and what I feel comfortable talking about on the public record. Anything I say being able to be held against me and all that. My cousin killed himself at the beginning of January and I started to write a longish essay on suicide, but ultimately decided that most of the conversation was better saved for my own internal dialogue rather than the blog. Having the post sitting there as a draft kept getting me stuck from moving on and writing about any of the other interesting stuff I am constantly absorbing. On a happier note, I'm recently returned from Oahu and have pictures and pineapple to share. Hawaii is a beautiful, beautiful place. I know I still have broken leg pictures that I was supposed to post ages ago - last week marked six months since my fall. One of these days soon, I'll sit down and edit out the photos, get 'em to the right size, and get up here. But that ties into the problem that I need to get a new host that offers more than the ridiculously mediocre storage space that my current host does. That means lots of research and probably some sort of technical-diificulties-pain-in-the-ass. I simultaneously need to renew my domain which probably will further complicate things. I've got thoughts to share on concerts, restaurants, books, football, Hawaii, plays, educational theory and a slew of other randomness that I've been tracking using Google Notebook. More to come soon.
