A little me time...

Today I'm taking some time out to post on my own little slice of the interwebs. My other collaborative effort is still going strong over at A little t and a (shameless cross promotion I know) but I just felt like posting something that isn't politically charged at the moment.

I've been thinking about this for a while now, and what it boils down to is the quality of the posts on this blog (or more specifically, the last two posts) have been lacking. At least as far as my own self-imposed standards go. I have come to the conclusion that I've been trying to rush it too much. Either I get an idea stuck and try to bang it out as quickly as possible, or I try to bind myself to the time constraint of not even beginning my post until its right on the line for me to have to go do something else.

It is probably not the best quality to pick up, but I think as long as I've recognized this flaw I should be able to correct it.

Another problem I've had lately is that I haven't been allowing myself free reign to ramble as I typically do. By that I mean, despite my posts being rambling tangential quagmires of ideas, I focus too much on trying to keep them in a strict structure. While that is essential when writing on specific topics I need to get back to just free flow of ideas, sort of as I'm doing now. That too should help me come to terms with the burden to write I've been placing on myself as of late.

So then, where should this post head next? Why not just cut it short and meander on over to a little haiku? Splendid idea.

At the library,
surrounded by knowledge and
Myspace, I shudder.

And that, as they say, is that for today.
