Once isn't always enough

Honestly, I have been down this road before.

I started to blog before, but I felt like everything I wrote was ordinary. My run-of-the-mill musings didn't do anything for me and absolutely nothing for the internet. I can't expect Joe in Cincinnati to care I am thinking about going for a hair cut and how much I love to color with crayons. Those kinds of mindless thoughts are better left to die their boring deaths on Facebook and Twitter along with the droves of other over-stated information from my "friends".

My previous writing didn't express what had really been going on in my mind. My new goal is real writing.

Speaking with my new co-worker today I realized my need to keep my writing skills polished. We discussed how not using our technical skills on a daily basis leaves us reaching for our "Whatever for Dummies" books.

I have invested too much effort to let it slip away and if I give into the stress of my daily life, I let them win. I also feel I see much of the world around me falling down this path. We fall into the assembly-line of life and lose our dreams, our hopes. Instead of working for the greater good, we let ourselves be overrun with conforming to the norm.

Feel free, readers, to keep me in check. Am I get boring? Am I failing and falling? Post comments for me and I will gladly work towards your suggestions.
