Take 2....

It has been far too long for many things:

- too long since I last spent a week completely sober

- too long since I had a decent nights sleep

- too long since I last wrote/typed anything that wasn't a work email, fb status, or some other useless tripe

- too long since I've updated this blog


Yes, I've let neglect, apathy, work, and just general laziness get the better or me. I think, of the above, I am most concerned that I have not written anything in such a long time that gets me down the most.

A few weeks back, I happened across an old mp3 player, in which I had stored almost of the various lyrical ramblings I had come up with through the years. Many of these are elsewhere online, but this was my only true backup. Since that day, I have managed to get the device working long enough to create 2 further backups, but it was quite enthralling to read these views into my past. I initially had difficulty reconciling this youthful, (somewhat) outspoken person, with the apathetic me of today. I know realise that that view is a falsehood. I am still the same person, I just direct my energies elsewhere (work....ok, and getting drunk), and that is, perhaps, the saddest thing of all.

Gone are the days where I used to sit down and, over a period of 5-20 minutes, I would just type out the random thoughts that would come into my mind, and save them for another day. I long again for those days of pure thought, where I would let my mind run free and rule my hands with little input from self-consciousness.

With this post, I hope to mark a return to those (halcyon?) days of yore, I hope to try and update this blog at least once a week, preferably every day or two, and will devote a little time each day to the pursuit of pure, unadulterated thought.

Wish me luck.
