A Tale of Blogs Nearly Forgotten

You know, I almost forgot all about this blog. How sad is that? I mean, there was a time when it was no problem for me to crank out three, four, five posts a month like they were nothing. And now it's been over a month since my last one, and even then I almost let the entire month of January slip away. It's just because I can never come up with anything I believe is worth talking about, and the fact that I'm genuinely more focused on my other blog.

So why do I still keep this blog around despite what for all intents and purposes is a lack of interest? Nostalgia, I guess. I've kept the MSX around in some form or fashion for over eleven years, and I honestly don't want to cut it loose. I don't want to get rid of it because I've had it forever, and I'm always drawn to the familiar more than the unknown. And besides, you never know when I might feel the need to go off on some crazy rant for no reason and I want to have somewhere I can do that.

I've written posts like this dozens of times over the last year or two. It's starting to become old hat, to tell you the truth. But I honestly couldn't let a whole month go by with another post, and I wanted to put something here just so I can say I haven't completely blown off the MSX. I don't know when I'll come up with something to talk about, but rest assured that if I ever do, it'll be here.
