Is this blog dead?

Looks like it.

I haven't been updating this blog for an entire five months. That's a new record. Previously, it was two months. But truth be told, I don't want this blog to die, with this being my only personal blog. I have lots of stuff to write here, about the world, and everything else that interests me. I want to share with the world my view on the local and global issues in today's world. At least, that's the idea back then 2006 when I first started this blog. So then, what happened?

Turned out that maintaining a blog is a lot more demanding than I expected. Okay, so the prospect of logging on and typing some stuff on the computer for around half an hour every week or so isn't really that troublesome. Then again, I'm not the kind of guy that's good at doing stuff consistently, unless you count sleeping, eating, crapping and the like. Sometime after I started this blog, I just don't feel like updating no more. Not for the lack of things to post though; I had tons of them dwelling in my head. And that, unfortunately, is the only place they are going to dwell.

Call it laziness. Call it slacking off. Call it whatever you want to call it. This syndrome affects all of us, and it extends way beyond just blogging. It can happen to any of us, to anything that requires constant work done.

Well, not all of us. Other people can go on and on doing the same thing every week, either blogging or else, regardless of how tiring and inconvenient it is. Guess that's what they call passion. And I guess that's what I lacked.

Is this blog dead? No, but it's not too alive either. Guess I'll need to really start posting more frequently, and put some more passion into it.
