The Place Blogs Go To Die

I remember reading somewhere that 142% of all blogs end up going stale, shriveling up, and dying eventually.  This despite the fact that everyone and their brother feels like they have enough worthwhile shit to say to start a blog.  I guess you could say this turns me into a statistic; I, like most people, started a blog and failed to keep it up to date.

It's not that things stopped happening in my life, it's just that I no longer found the time to write about it.  To a great extent, most of the exciting things in my life have been posted on my wife's blog.  Other stuff has been happening though, I guess... I finished school  again (temporarily) by earning my BS from University of Phoenix.  I continue to work full time as an IT manager, and I continue to race my car in parking lots on the weekends:

I realized today that my daughter now speaks like a caveman.  Except, a caveman that says funny things like "Ali put fishbowl on head!"  This is highly entertaining.  To make matters more interesting, we (my wife, actually) are pregnant again, which is a joyous thing.  After the second child is born, I'm sure I will have even more time to write.  Oh wait, reverse that.

In closing, this may be the revival of my dying blog, or it could be the last post for another year.  Either way, if you really want to know what's happening in my life, with any expectation of regular updates, once again I will direct you to my wife's blog.  Really, go there.

It had gotten to the point where I even deleted the link to your blog from my favorites because it was so dissappointing to go there and continue seeing only a picture of ali looking at a matt groenig cartoon book and that last blog of yours. I vote that you keep your blog because every time you had the TIME to write it was worth reading what you had to say. I have the same problem with time to write but I vow to try harder. It is a wonderful way to keep in touch. But you are right--Wife's Blog is a better, more regular way of doing that.

I also vote for you keeping your blog site. You can't but appreciate the irony of your blog taking the backseat to the continuing growth of your daughter and how family development becomes so mor important than the unit. This does not mean that the unit is lost, it's just that you start thinking about how a developing person is so much more interesting than most of your own life. Now there are three, soon four and time will be less to post your life. I guess that you are the family guy now. Enjoy.
