It’s that time again — that time when the well-intentioned (and the self-hating, too) decide to Change for the Better, and stick to those gosh-darned resolutions, and do whatever it is that driven (and/or deluded) people do.

Well, that’s not going to happen around here.

This is the time of year I ask myself, “Why am I paying for web hosting again?” Because, let’s face it: this blog is a DUD. I used to keep a fairly lively online journal (though never on LiveJournal, oddly enough) – back before it was cool. I mean, I’ve had some form of online presence since the mid 1990s. But I’m not feeling it anymore. I have a small life – a boring life, even – and unless I commit myself to bitching about my shitty health or cataloging the minutiae of my cat’s existence…there’s not much for me to talk about here.

Back when I kept a more interesting blog, I left the house. I had projects going, volunteer work, a lot of writing to discuss or post, and well, some entertaining interpersonal conflict that I (hope I) approached in a humorous way.

But that stuff was never even on this URL. It seems like a lifetime ago, and in internet time – it really was.

And oh, I had plans for this space. I’ve had plans, and changed plans, and better plans – and a million good intentions. But I’m tired of good intentions and failed projects.

So I’m giving myself a year to “shit or get off the pot,” as Grandma used to say. No grand intentions, no Official Resolutions – just permission to fiddle around with this site until I’ve found something that works for me…or I give up having a website for the first time in 15 years.

So that’s 2012. Maybe it’s Ragnarok after all.

We’ll see.
