Au bout de son latin

It's been a while since I've put up a decent post here. I found myself groping around for new material, fresh ideas and other things that would fit in my blog. Since its inception I've had a handful of drafts that, as of this writing, still remain unfinished. A number of these where only written halfway through. The trains of thought governing these posts has left me with nary a clue on how to end them. And now, I just can't put myself in the right frame of mind to be able to finish even one draft.

I've had a lot of time thinking of what I want to do with this blog. And in that length of time I have cerebrated, luckily enough, I was stricken with a few ideas that might help me get back on track.

It got me tinkering with the idea of putting up my French corner, since I am in dire need of a way to practice what I've been learning in school. It's been one helluva class after the other, inducing bouts of internal brain hemorrhages and nose bleeding. A book I read suggested to devote and set aside a time from your day (an hour or so) for your French corner. Now that's one.

Hmm... Another idea I'm considering are birthday profiles... Though this might be a bit way over my head, it'd be a nice addition and prove to be well worth the effort (there aren't that many sites that give profiles for free). Since what would be posted are more general interpretations of what I have accumulated over the years, this should not be treated as professional work. It has been a preoccupation of mine to collect such information, and it would be a shame if I wasn't able to share any of it here... especially since I found most of them to be quite accurate. I just have to psych myself up since I should be doing 365 profiles, one for each day of the year... Talk about suicide missions...

Other topics that cropped up were: movies I've watched (though I shun at the thought of me doing a review), games I've played (PC, PS2, DS, GBA), TV shows that eat up my boob tube viewing hours, trips (I still have come up with something for my recent trip to Pagudpud/Ilocos/Vigan, been too lazy to fix the tons of photos), and other things that I might stumble upon along the way.

Probably, one reason why I haven't been around blogging is because I am currently stable. No emotional tension, no end-of-the-world type of distress, NADA. As I've previously stated, this blog was conceived as an outlet for unexpressed emotions, repressed rage and other similar what-have-you. Having no fiery rage to douse, no pent-up feelings to purge, nor any bad memories to expunge, I found no reason to undergo catharsis by writing.

I should be grateful that I am currently unencumbered with any emotional baggages. Don't get me wrong, I AM. It's just that, maybe, I have to displace my motivation from writing. I just have to find another raison d'être for this blog. Another reason to keep on going. Just thinking about it puts a smile to my face somehow. I've got another thing to look out for. Another thing to look forward to.
