To Blog, Or Not to Blog. THAT is the question!

So yesterday, I actually remembered that I was once a blogger. I started up my computer and with much trepidation, I hit the bookmark on my browser that says, LAST GIRL ON EARTH. I hadn’t been over here since May. That’s right MAY. That’s FIVE MONTHS! I’ve often thought about coming over here. But ever since I changed my homepage from LAST GIRL ON EARTH to FACEBOOK, this page has become a stranger to me.

I know that many of you have moved to the dark side because we’re friends over on Facebook. And life over there is just so much easier and breezier. One quick little Twitter, and I’ve said all I need to say.

When I was a blogger, I would stay up until all hours of the night slaving over words that I hope made me sound semi-intelligent! I would look for pictures that went with my posts until the wee hours of the morning. When I’d find “the ultimate” picture, I’d smile, and post it up there with the words that I slaved over. Satisfied with my post, I’d put it out there and wait to see if anyone would comment on what I had to say.

Between posts, I’d visit my blog buddies. I got involved with so many people’s lives. What they were thinking and doing. Catching up week after week on the joys, the highs and the lows of strangers. But even though I never met most of these people, for a while, for a few years, I really cared what they were going through.

And the time flew by. Week after week. Month after month. Post after post. Until I realized that maybe I didn’t want to experience the “virtual” world. I just wanted to experience the substantial, REAL world around me.

I’ve started writing MUSIC again. I’m observing the wonderful buzz around me, including the people I love, and the people I don’t know, but I’m seriously amused by!

I’m not going to quit blogging. Sometimes I actually have something I want to say, and a little line in Twitter that ends up on my Facebook page just won’t hack it! BUT… I’ll blog when I want, not when I feel obligated to. If anyone reads what I have to say, that’s totally groovy. But I don’t want to feel the pressure any more to write here. I’m SO grateful for the wonderful people that I met online in the blogospere and I hope everyone is having a great life. For now, I’m just way too busy ENJOYING life to go down my list and visit one by one.

For those of you who have never been here before, feel free to work your way backwards on my blog and check out my words and the pretty pictures that went with them. Check out my Facebook artist page HERE and please… Rock on.
