Yawn, Blink …. Oh Hi!
Scott Pantall | July 21, 2009
After a long stretch of ignoring my blog, I’ve finally decided to get back on the wagon. I feel like I did when I was a kid and I found that toy that I really liked, but for some reason left in the bottom of my toy box for months. My blog is like my old GI Joes with their rubber banded torsos. This is not the best comparison I’ve ever made.
So why, oh why did I neglect my blog? I blame….. my wife! I have one of those now. That’s what wives are for, right?
“Why don’t you come to the bar anymore?”
“The wife”
“How come you’re always doing yard work?”
“The wife”
“How did you get that limp?”
“The wife”
“What did you do last night?”
….
In all honesty though, having a wife is great. It’s much easier to say than long-term-girlfriend-mother-of-my-child-all-around-great-gal-that-I-love. She probably wouldn’t care if I went to bar with friends or neglected the yard work. She also has nothing to do with me neglecting my blog. I love my wife!
I’ve tweaked a couple things visually on my website. I’ve also found a purpose for my blog: I’m going to start my own business! Why does this give my blog purpose? I’ll get to use it as a sounding board for my ideas, to facilitate answers from those who know more about entrepreneurship than I do, and to hopefully help others who, like me, are starting down the unlit path of starting a business for the first time. Because that’s what it feels like to me:
Becoming a first-time entrepreneur is like walking down a dark, unlit path with no idea where it’s heading or what obstacles are in the way. You can ask for advice. You can gather as much information as possible. But it’s still up to you to take those steps that lead down that unknown path.
Don’t worry too much though. My new purpose won’t completely rid this blog of the randomness and pointlessness that is me.
