 i have no idea, but i&#8217;m having fun while it lasts.  maybe, now that my hair isn&#8217;t three feet long, i&#8217;ll get around to dying it bloo.<br \/>\ncan i talk about even more mundane subjects?  homework, sleep, haircuts.  wow, this really is turning into a haircut blog.  my favourite jeremy was talking the other day about there being people out there who have no business with a blog.  they don&#8217;t have anything interesting to say or contribute in any meaningful manner.  i&#8217;ve been feeling that way about my site lately, especially the days i don&#8217;t have a photo to post.  i used to be more prolific, more engaging, more fun,  more &#8220;hey, isn&#8217;t this weird?&#8221;<br \/>\ni think i&#8217;m feeling penned-in by my decision to post photos every day.  it&#8217;s like it goes against the flow of the site to have small, frequent posts of my random thoughts and such.  the fantabulous <a href=\"http:\/\/iwilldare.com\/\">jodi chromey<\/a> was recently talking about something vaguely related and mentioned implementing a &#8220;small blog&#8221; like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluishorange.com\/\">alison<\/a> has.  that might be the solution for me, but i don&#8217;t think i have the energy, or inclination, to both implement and utilize something like that.  then i&#8217;d have to write <i>two<\/i> things every day, and pete knows i have enough trouble just trying to think of one thing most days.<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s when a small part of me wants to give up.  stop posting.  call it quits.<br \/>\nhell, three and a half years is a pretty good lifespan for a low-traffic weblog.   i&#8217;ve even been linked by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hchamp.com\">heather champ<\/a>!  that in itself is an web-fame accomplishment.  i&#8217;ve met dozens of interesting, intelligent, engaging, creative, intimidating yet welcoming people via my little corner of the internet.  i&#8217;ve learned about html, css, javascript, php, greymatter, moveable type, photoshop, paintshop pro, cuteftp, the importance of backups, and that good webhosting companies are hard to find.<br \/>\nand just when it all becomes too much and i&#8217;m ready to throw in the towel, i realize that i love this site.  fubsy.net has become a part of my personality.  if i didn&#8217;t have somewhere to post my photos, i don&#8217;t know if i&#8217;d make as many as i do.  if i didn&#8217;t have a place to vent my stupid thoughts, i&#8217;d probably be more of a nightmare then i already am.  yes, sometimes i get frustrated that i&#8217;m not a great weaver words.  i can&#8217;t turn my trip to the grocery store into some humourous treatise on the dangers of final net and the forty-something woman like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dooce.com\">dooce<\/a> and i&#8217;ll never be as great a photographer as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.perpetualkarma.com\/weblog\/julieisboo.html\">julie<\/a>.  no one will every pay me for prints of my pixels, but that&#8217;s okay.  i didn&#8217;t start this to win any popularity contests, get a book deal or be famous.  it was new and i was curious and i think i just have to get back to that feeling of &#8220;hey, this is fun!  let&#8217;s see what else i can do&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>two weeks of pilates and already my posture has improved. i suppose that&#8217;s the point, but who knew i&#8217;d take to sucking in and standing tall so quickly?
