Inspired to get back on the horse.
You know the quote “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans?” Well that’s my excuse for the multi-month hiatus I’ve taken on this blog.
To come clean, my ‘other plans’ have been in the form of two under 3, twitter and a change in work.
Twitter has been the single largest digital time-suck in my life. I say digital cuz there are two little girls (both under 3) that are an even bigger albeit analog time-suck… ahhhh, the joys of being a dad.
But I digress. Twitter. It’s what got me in trouble, and what has got me back writing.
I had a chat on twitter today with @rotkapchen
She’s a guru. She’s a Texan. And she regularly posts stuff on Twitter that makes me smarter. And she’s the reason I’m back at this writing thing. You see, she went and posted a blog entry I wrote in relation to something she was commenting on. While I am flattered and honored, the first thing I thought was “Oh shit! I haven’t posted to that blog in months!” Which of course, makes me look like a tool. Which I am. Sometimes.
Here’s me not being a tool:
Paula is in fact a lot of fun to follow on Twitter. She is inspirational. The stuff she tweets on are mostly smart as hell… I say mostly cuz she sometimes mentions me. So I feel safe is saying she is my ambassador of Kwan.
Clearly it’s not advisable to downplay one of your biggest fans…but even my mother would suggest that the reverie here is WAY over the top [reality is I'm generally hanging out in my pj's in front of the screen as a crazed Tweetadict]
Far be it from me, however, to downplay a little inspiration — no matter where it comes from.
Add to that the honor of being an “ambassador of Kwan” (which apparently beats out a Princess Leia).
Rock on…
