Looks like Rage is back up. Again. We'll see how long it lasts this time.... Will it still be up by the time I finish this rambling? :)

So... Not many ramblings over the past week. Few, far between, and not a whole lot of content. And my movielog. Oh my movielog. Am I ever behind on my movielog! Will I even catch up? One wonders.

Regarding the following: It's hard to determine how much of what I'm about to describe has been due to Rage's down status, and how much is other factors at work in my life right now. Time will tell.

Recently, I have simply not felt so compelled to write about all the events of my daily life on my web page. In fact, I really haven't felt like writing much at all.

Words are useless.
Especially sentences.
They don't stand for anything.
How can they explain how I feel?

The only reason I'm even writing this here now is because: a) One week ago, I said I'd do a weekly checkup on a sub-resolution I made, and b) I don't want this web site to feel totally abandoned.

There have been times when this place was where I would go for catharsis, as well as to appease that ever-driving urge to somehow lend a meaning to my life. That's not to say my life hasn't had meaning otherwise. It's just... events are fleeting. If I can preserve what's happening -- and more importantly, what's going on in my mind at the time -- I might be able to somehow beat the thief of time.

Since earlier this week, that need has just seemed to dissipate. There has been shit happening in my life. I'm talking major rethink-the-state-of-your-being type of events. Could it be that I have matured beyond the need to chronicle everything in this manner? If that is the case, then woe to the poor content vultures. (Somehow, though, I think they'll manage. ;)

Does this mean Bitscape's Lounge will be no more? Hardly! :)

What it might mean is that the nature of the content here could change, because on the flip side, even while these thoughts of less prolific ramblings circle through my head, I've been getting the strong sense that I need to create more in other types of realms: Gimp, graphics, blender, funky html tricks. Less linguistic, more artistic. Or so I'm want to believe. (But don't worry folks, I will not curse the readers of this page with tons of javascript insanity. I get that kind of angst out of my system while at work. ;)

But enough of that. On with what I'm here to do. And then maybe, just maybe, I can sync all this crap up to Rage, assuming it's still up by then.

• This month, I shall find and enroll myself into a class, course, or other form of community group activity which is non-computer-related.

  Ok, there was some preliminary scouting done on this one. Although, yes, it did simply consist of surfing around a bit to see what's available. I do have a couple of possible ideas in the way of night courses to sign up for this fall. What those are, specifically, I am not going to reveal until further along in the decision making process. (Yes, I know, I'm acting like a bureaucrat here, but trust me. I am thinking about the options.) For what it's worth, my mentor has also just chimed in with a couple ideas. (While I can't be certain, I don't think my mentor's words were specifically meant to address this resolution. But they were so, so on target, that... who knows?)

There. That's my weekly status check. I can't promise it will be on rage tonight, because even if rage stays up, I need to.... Well, we'll see.
