I have *got* to get back in the swing of things.

I’m getting bored enough from being ill to want to start pointless escapades on Twitter.  That’s the thing that they never tell you about being an opinionated pain in the rear; to wit, it’s hard to turn that stuff off.  The urge to go poke somebody with a stick is surprisingly potent, even after most of a year.

I know, I know: half of you would stand up and cheer if I got back into the Life. But the Life ain’t that great, folks. It does weird things to your head if you let it, and it’s really, really good at making you let it. It’s certainly not worth losing sleep over…

  1. Twitter is the one thing I’ve avoided. I know that it’s supposed to be good for my writing career to have a presence there, but it just is too much of a time sink.

  2. Hey Moe, I have an idea for an internet radio station. Come back to the “Life” and we can go into business together. Hell, I will be willing to move where you are to do this (or we can do this in Florida where it is cheaper). It would be awesome and fun.

    Honestly think about it. Don’t just dismiss the idea out of hand.

  3. You walking away from the Life was why I added you to my RSS feeds. You bubbled up on another feed (Instapundit or someone) a couple of times, but when I started looking past the posts that caught their attention, I saw someone whose interests and hobbies overlapped mine, and I realized how much *I* missed pen-and-paper gaming, and enjoying sci-fi/fantasy, and writing, and all of that. Politics pi**es me off, because I WANT to ignore it, and I can’t entirely because of the impact it has on my family. But there are far more valuable things to do with my free time than following that crap and engaging continually in the trenches. I’ve got a son and a wife both of whom would be more than happy to make stories with me (RPG session and short-story fiction), but that means I can’t burn all of my energy on other things like political bulls**t.

  4. I do recall a time when I would lose sleep because somebody on the internet was *WRONG*.

    The 12 Steps of AA weren’t quite applicable, but it was closer than I care to admit.
