It's just not fair.<br /><br />You can't expect to be witty and profound all the time. Like Leslie said, think about why you're writing this. If you can't answer that (and I couldn't at the time I decided to take a break), then maybe it IS time for a break. And like you told me, take as long as you need. :) <br /><br />That said, don't pressure yourself into trying to be profound with every post. Your blog is awesome because it is real. It's not trying to be anything except you. So keep it that way.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331257882063185349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-71447245264022968232010-11-12T23:45:28.350-06:002010-11-12T23:45:28.350-06:00I know I am always amazed that anybody reads anyth...I know I am always amazed that anybody reads anything I write. I have no illusions about being witty, clever, deep, or brilliant compared to Georgette and some of the rest of this "community of shared insanity."<br /><br />It is cathartic to share observations and thoughts with people experiencing a similar journey in a part of their lives. <br /><br />I find it difficult to be as prolific as I would like. I have "notes" for about 20 or 30 posts that will probably never see the light of day due to time. I had to stop myself the other day from prematurely ending a conversation with a friend because I wanted to get a post up (is this some kind of addiction?)<br /><br />Meerkatsu - I take comfort in the thought that we (the few, the proud) are blogging about jiu jitsu, a very small percentage of the population. If you were to let loose your powers of review on the "cake world" servers would die under the load of comments ;-).Zen Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557989107363853385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-36407046415914048342010-11-12T22:59:55.838-06:002010-11-12T22:59:55.838-06:00Georgette & co.
I think it is amazing you guy...Georgette & co. <br />I think it is amazing you guys keep blogging so religously. I personally would have hit Dev's wall very early on (if I blogged that is...avid lurker only). That said, I am really glad you keep going because It makes my journey in BJJ feel less lonely and not as isolating when I feel down. You guys experience similar stuff as me so it makes me feel normal I suppose. Hence my feelings of inadequacy are squashed and I saddle up for another class. Don't underestimate the power or reach of your blogs.<br />So I guess what I mean to say is thanks.<br />PS - never read god of cake but I read these blogs all the time.<br /><br />Ray (Blue belt from Australia)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-36818252234984517192010-11-12T16:09:07.771-06:002010-11-12T16:09:07.771-06:00Sometimes I think I wrote something brilliant or w...Sometimes I think I wrote something brilliant or witty or or deep whatever, and usually then no one says anything about it at all. Which is annoying. But then I remember why I'm blogging -- so that I don't forget what happens along the way. I can't even keep a grocery list in my head; no way I'm gonna remember class notes for months. So, I guess it's a matter of why are you writing what you're writing...lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603807319832815566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-14557990804626266912010-11-12T15:03:17.491-06:002010-11-12T15:03:17.491-06:00One also feels incredibly small when you read just...One also feels incredibly small when you read just how many hundreds of comments god of Cake gets.Meerkatsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147715586194844173noreply@blogger.com
