I’ve really been struggling with my writing these last few months. I just haven’t been motivated. My posts have been…well…lackluster…less than stellar. I was going through some of my old posts, pruning them (as I tend to do at the beginning of the year) and whilst reading over them it hit me! Yup, it was like slamming face first into a brick wall. (Don’t worry, I didn’t virtually hurt myself when I ran into the aforementioned virtual wall.) I’ve become too focused on being geeky. Many of my older posts were random…rambling…fun. Now, I’m focused. I try to provide useful information instead of just nonsensical but amusing writing.

Yes, it’s true. Somebody stole my random. Well, ok - maybe I misplaced it. (And yes, I’m well aware it’s probably randomness - but in this case I’m using random as a noun and that justifies my probable incorrect usage.) So I’m on a quest. I’m out to find my random. I’ve been looking in drawers and closets around the house, but so far I haven’t found it. I have discovered little clues it’s still around, but it seems to be playing games with me. When it’s very quiet in the house (usually in the middle of the night) I hear a little voice calling "…Marco…" to which I respond with a whispered  "…Polo…"  Do you know how hard it is to play Marco-Polo with random? Much less in the dark?!

Granted, I’ve had a lot less time to write lately but it’s no excuse. One of my New Year resolutions is to find my random, and create some of those amusingly odd posts many of you have come to expect from me - the ones that define my writing.  Happy New Year to all!!
