Less here lately

As we used to say around our dorm room, it's "not entirely clear" why my blog entries have tapered off lately. A predictable twist is that it's not entirely clear I'm inclined to share—or even come up with—an introspective, coherent account of why. So how about some bullet points instead, each in the nature of a possible partial explanation?
  • The "great events of the day" are heavily covered elsewhere, complicated to write about with originality, clarity and verve, or are predictably disgusting (like whenever someone on the GOP ticket opens his or her mouth).

  • Don't Trust Snakes is not my public diary. An oldie but goodie.

  • I've gradually concluded almost no one reads this.

  • The emergence of new little diversions, like composing clever Facebook status lines. Seriously. Vague but cognizable pique at people who refuse my Facebook friend requests. Yes, Facebook, that exquisite form of slavery. You are indeed wise to shun it.

  • Aggregate changes in my situation since inception of the MWR blog persona that either diminish my desire to express myself through the MWR blog persona, or provide alternative real-world outlets for some impulses that often animate the MWR blog persona.

  • I'm not sure what to call this one. Psychic editing, perhaps. I'm in a mood lately where I'm tired of giving myself away for free. Further experiments may follow.

While I wish to remain "anonymous," know that you are well read...because, "just like me, they long to be....blogged about!"

oh my... I too read you - but now I'm wondering who your anonymous reader is. Someone cool who attended an event this summer I'm sure.
