Creeva’s World 2.0

I’ve spent the last few days pick­ing and plod­ding over the blog.   I actu­ally made a few posts also.   Heck I’ve posted on my sons blog more then I have my own the last few months.   Part of this is lazi­ness, the other part is won­der­ing what to write.   I have a few seg­ments I need to write out and take to con­clu­sion, maybe that’s part of the nag­ging.  I do need to get those done in the next 2 weeks.  I have dead­lines that some are not even aware of.

I’ve wanted a clean blog tem­plate for awhile and the one I’m cur­rently try­ing on is close, closer (while main­tain­ing a work func­tion­al­ity that doesn’t cause me to redo all my posts) then any­thing else I’ve dealt with so far.   I have decided a new thing.  I’m not going to worry about the long winded posts, I’m not going to worry about the topic.   I’m going to use my blog to not just do posts, but to show­case videos and pic­tures.  In a way I already do that, but nor­mally I have more behind some­thing then just post­ing a unique pic­ture.  Nor­mally I offer com­men­tary, or at least some more of myself to the blogosphere.

I think I take too seri­ous some­times.  That every­thing has to actu­ally mean some­thing.  It doesn’t.  Like life and the things around us, things can be fun an empty instead of seri­ous and deep.   Things don’t always have to make you pon­der some­thing.   It helps that the spam­mers writ­ing on topic are my biggest com­men­tors these days.   I get a faux inter­ac­tion with the com­mu­nity,  but I’m not speak­ing to a spe­cific audi­ence.  I’m not even sure who my audi­ence is any more.    It’s been a long strange year so far.

The baby being born def­i­nitely changed things, but like band, I need to do this for me.   If I don’t leave my mark for him to read some­day in the future, then I’ll always be grumpy dad.  The guy who never under­stands any­thing.   At least show­ing him the blog in twenty years I can point to the fact that I’ll have been through sim­i­lar life expe­ri­ences as  him.

It’s late — so far tonight I failed on my task to get a LAMP server up and run­ning.  That’s OK I’m only going to be con­fig­ur­ing to backup my “cloud” data any­ways.  It can wait awhile longer.   So to all those read­ers out there good­night (I’m only get­ting to bed an hour later then I had wanted to).
