Hello, blog. It's been a long time.
You and I have had quite a relationship, haven't we. I started you because I wanted to keep all the people back home up to date. Well, I got too lazy and no one read you.
A little later, I started you all over again. Twice. And you fell to the wayside both times.
Then you were reborn as Mimeno! And I was writing. Then I stopped. There's a little pattern going on around here.
But, well, to be honest, I guess I never found anything interesting to say through you. I had no voice. I love my family and all, but I was too busy enjoying my time with them to bother using you for your intended purpose.
I think I have found a reason for you now. I think I know what to do with you. And it's this:
For far too long, blog, I have been lazy. Lazy writing blogs, yes, of course. We already discussed that. No, I mean, lazy about all the things I truly love and want to do. My art, my writing. Not only that, through many starts and stops, I have been very physically lazy. The absence of table tennis or aikido in my life has left me literally soft. In the belly region. Some may call it fat. I call it fat. I'm fat.
So now, it's time I put you to work, blog. You are not only my blog on life, you're my blog on my improvements. You are going to show the world - and by that, the one or two readers who may pass through - that I don't have to be lazy. I don't have to trade my self-respect, my true pride, my hard work, my happiness, my fun for convenience and entertainment.
I have started my drawing, writing and exercise challenges for all to see. Enjoy, blog and all those who may read you in the future.
