me, motivation, non sequitur
You know how it is when there’s someone you haven’t talked to in a while? Maybe you were friends and you just didn’t see each other for a while. Maybe you made new friends and talked to them instead. Or maybe it just happened. Then, when you did see them, you still didn’t talk much because it was awkward and you just didn’t know what to do? I think I’ve been treating this and my other sites like that.
Ever since I started uploading pictures to flickr I started neglecting and then avoiding my photoblog. I still like the idea of photoblogging; I’m just regretting the choice of having it as a totally separate site. I still haven’t figured out what to do about that. The plug in I’m using for it now is great. I could continue to use it with this site or find another way to incorporate photos. Figuring that out requires a little more motivation than I’ve had lately (which is another reason for the obvious neglect).
However, I’ve figured out a little something about my lack of motivation: the only person who can fix that is me. Things will not start happening unless I do them. Sitting there moping about how I never do anything helps no one. This applies to more than blogging or the lack thereof. I used to hear everyone talk about the “Freshman 15.” I never really saw of that while I was in college but I’m afraid they’re catching up to me. Nothing major, really, but I’m not as in shape as I’d like to be. I’m working on that, too. My fight to quit drinking sodas is not going quite so well as I’d like. I’ve been dealing with enough headaches lately that dealing with one caused by something I know I can fix just isn’t worth it right now.
Now maybe someone can answer this for me: is the title or the body the non sequitur? Also, can you believe that I spelled non sequitur right when I was looking up to make sure I knew what I was talking about?
Flickr is such a great community for photos. At first I was going to make a photo blog but then I realized that Flickr was all that I needed for now at least.
I can’t believe some people are still getting snow. It’s spring for goodness sake! Luckily we just got rain today but it was still quite nasty!
I’m not a fan of flickr. I like to see people put their stuff on their website cause it’s much more personal. And nicer looking. And you can comment on them. xD
I know something that could help with the soda and the headaches caused by them. There’s a vitamin [One A Day Weight Smart] that has stuff in it to help you keep from overeating from thinking about food, and it has caffeine. Taking that vitamin could cure the caffeine headaches and help you take some pounds off.
I added a Flickr feed to my blog, but I’m going to upload larger size/quality photos directly to the site, too.
@Jenny: Can’t you comment on photos with Flickr?
@Caity: Hopefully that will be the last of the white stuff. During winter months it’s fine and all but hey, it’s spring now!
@Jenny & @Amy: I think you have the option to turn on/off commenting from people who do not have flickr or yahoo accounts. Oh wait, I just checked and you can’t. You do have to have a flickr account. Bummer. I just really like the organization that flickr has and I don’t want to bother with uploading images multiple times!
