Stepping Back

I was moving a little slower yesterday and didn't get around to pre-writing this post, so sorry it's late.  I realized that there is really no reason why I have to stick to a schedule on when each post comes out.  But the biggest motivator is perhaps the fact that I have been concerning myself more with viewers than I originally intended.  So after yesterday’s unshared, unviewed post, I conceded that this blog really is more about me than anyone else.  And I’m fine with that.  Takes off a lot of pressure, actually.

This really was meant to be more of a journal during the early phases than anything else.  So, with that said, I won’t be worrying too much about how “interesting” the content is.  Instead, I’ll be worrying more about developing writing styles.  Once I have more posts that can be referenced, I’ll start promoting the blog again.

Originally, I was going to post today about some of the worst first date ideas, but I think I’ll save that for later.  

Yesterday, my wife and I got into a little fight about this whole Date Night.  See, she has started her own little business and she is pushing to make it not so little anymore by going to shows and boutiques.  I support her, and want her to succeed.  The problem is that most of her shows fall on Saturdays, often extending into the evening hours.  This was a problem because I had dedicated Saturdays to Date Night.  At first, we tried to be understanding of each other.  But it didn't take long for feelings to be hurt and we started accusing each other of “not caring.”  

We didn't have enough time to hash it out over the phone, nor was it something I particularly wanted to do over the phone.  So I calmed down, tried to encourage her that we just needed to think for a bit and we could talk about it later.  

During that “think” time, I realized that I had gotten upset because I believed my cause to be more noble than hers, so mine deserved more support.  

It was a good, eye-opening experience.  While I still believe that DATE NIGHT IS a better cause, this blog is not!  And it is my posting schedule that largely gets in the way of hosting date night on any other night.  

Which leads me to this point...taking a step back.  

I will still put a post out everyday, but I will not be concerned with making it “blog-worthy.”  Think of it more as a journal.
