Life Wonk

Well this post should be called writing again. I have a rare form of ADD called D-ADD, Denial of Attention Deficit Disorder, to where I know I want to do things, but my random interest in everything causes everything else I started in limbo. I am no doctor, so I shouldn’t self diagnose. I think I am a big procrastinator. This introduction is an example of such procrastination, as most of the information you are reading is completely irrelevant to the whole point of this blog.

Which leads me to my next point, I really don’t have one. As many of my dedicated blog readers know, I have been on a quest to make my blog popular, make it acceptable, get on digg.com or AC, have virtual debates via comments, you know a blogger’s dream. This desire to be accepted by people I do not know, or perhaps never meet, has left my real life and like a Trojan horse virus, and infected the part of my brain that infected my writing.

I not had a writers block when it comes to blogging, its just sometimes, I feel too whiny, too ignored, too radical, too liberal, too extreme, too pressured to be something I created in my imagination that the world would appreciate. I lost my passion and purpose for blogging because I was writing to please people, instead of the original purpose which is to use the written word to inform, reform, inspire, teach, warn the people. I admit my writing would be catered to what I thought and sometimes presumed to know what people hail me for.

Then I got poetry again…. On a different level, like never before. Writing poetry again gives me the freedom to draw concrete conclusions from abstract thoughts. For a long time I had not written poetry, because I began blogging. When i stopped blogging, the poetry came again. So much so, I will post my poetry on a separate blog, because I like creating new blogs. (not really, its just easier that way). I also wanted to allow people to read, critique and share their poetry. If you want to submit, email poetryagain@gmail.com.

With that said, I am blogging again. I am not too sure what the subject matter, tone, or direction of Lifewonk.com. Then again, it is life, who is really sure of anything, right?
