It’s been a little while since I updated this bad boy. I’ve been busy, mostly struggling with a story I’m trying to finish for graduate school applications. At times it feels like running in place with leaden boots, really.
Naturally since I’ve had writer’s block I’ve been exploring a multitude of other fun things I like to do. This includes unproductive things like watching football or soccer, but it also includes hacking around on my computer, that old flame that keeps returning to me even after I neglect it for months on end.
I think the reason I like both boils down to a creative urge I have now and have had all my life. This urge makes me want to make things that I see in my mind, that is conceptualize, into reality. Now with writing that’s a gray area since, you know, it’s just words (ha!). With computers it’s slightly different.
Now, I’m not going to stop writing or reading because it’s just beautiful. It’s inconceivable to me that I would have to stop reading stories and poetry or stop being able to write, really. At the same time, I wish I had more time to play around on the computer, especially with all the cool web applications that are now possible.
*emo sigh*
Most useless post ever.

Goddammit, Brian, I should have heard about this blog a long time ago. I only discovered it by checking the referrers to jsomers.net (I get so little traffic that I noticed six clicks from bryemye.wordpress.com).
This is good stuff. I particularly like the post about “Lights in the Dusk” and your butterflies poem. Keep ‘em coming.

Yeah I didn’t get the word out much because I wanted to see if I would actually keep updating this thing. Right now that remains up in the air. If I do decide that this thing is long term I’m going to move it to its own domain etc. We’ll see.
