This is Joe's Fault

Grrrr

I'm frustrated, dear reader. I know you understand this feeling.

I assure you that I've been writing the last two months. I've been reading and writing and thinking a lot lately. The only problem is, that none of it has been particularly...fruitful, I guess. Or entertaining. And while it shouldn't really be a big deal to write something serious once in a while, it seems to be really hard right now for some reason.

The problem is that the topic I've been working on is something that I feel strongly about, and yet don't want to be needlessly offensive about, either. The two things I'm trying to avoid: 1. pulling punches 2. being a dick unnecessarily.

As you might surmise, this is a fine line to walk and I fear I'm not a good enough writer (let alone thinker) to ever pull it off. I will continue to work on it "offline" as the jagoffs at work like to say. Sorry (there's that being a dick again), I mean as some of my well-meaning colleagues like to say.

So, in an effort to jog my creative juices, I've joined the ever-growing community at Facebook. (Yeah, you read me right. You wanna make something of it?) Except, instead of making me creative, I'm just spending all my time looking up old school friends and poking people. I'm afraid that it may be habit-forming... I'm a very addictive personality, don't you know.

But, if anything, at least you'll know where to find me when I'm neglecting this blog. Tootles!
