Rob’s Rules

Re-Re Start - Like a (confused) Phoenix

This blog is rising - not from the dead this time, but from dormancy - yet again. I have blogged and not blogged. Stop and go for many many years. I have tried many different platforms:

to name a few. Many of the platform names I can’t remember anymore. And this doesn’t include “social media blogging” like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc…

Consistently Inconsistent

There have been two things constant in my blogging journey.

One, I like to do it. I keep coming back to blogging. Don’t know why, but I do.

Two, I suck at it. I have tried long form blogging, micro blogging, interactive blogging, photo blogging, … you name I just am never sure where I am going with it. I get disenchanted and move on. I start with a catapult launch, then flame out as soon as I clear the deck. Crash and Burn, Mav… crash and burn.

And Now For Something Completely Different

So what will I do differently this time? What will change?

Well, I think me. I have been blogging for all the wrong reasons: to build an audience, to get follows, to interact with people, whatever. It’s always been for other reasons besides the real reason I want to do it. For me. Now I am pulling my own Ricky Bobby and blogging only because I want to. I am going to post whatever the f**k I want (pardon the profanity - not a big fan of it in persuasive writing). I will interact with anyone I feel like (or no one) and won’t feel pressure to do so.

This is me. And if you don’t like it, don’t read it. Period. I, me personally, want to keep a record of what I am doing when the mood strikes me. I do have things to say now and then, and I am going to say them.

A New Blogging Platform

Surprise, surprise. I am starting this new journey on a new platform. And it is about as simple of a platform as can be - Not quite as simple as blot.im where there is no platform. But pretty damn simple. Little prep, minimalistic as possible. Easy Peasy. No prep other than typing. Simply write and post. Maybe it will help me write more. Maybe not. Nut you know what. I dont really care. Just do what I feel like doing. Say what i want to say. Reach out via email if you like. May eventually put up comments or something. Maybe.

So hopefully see you around here on Bear.

A New Day

So here is to new beginnings. One thing I have learned in my advancing age: the sun rises every day and with it comes the change to start anew. Today is that day. A new day. Time to settle down and just be me.

Love and Be Loved.
