I haven't been on this blog in about a year, but Chris has inspired me to start blogging, again. I've been putting most of my generative discursive abilities into writing on the dissertation or I'd blog on myspace. But, since I've all put abandoned myspace and facebook doesn't seem the "appropriate" place for blogging, I've decided to come back here and start writing/updating again. I do like some of the little stories and tidbits that I've posted on myspace, so I think I'm going to post them again here from time-to-time for achival purposes if anything.
This blog was once private; however, I've decided to open it up since I'm pretty far ahead on the dissertation, and I don't think there's any intellectual property here that needs protecting. And, if anyone did try to pirate any of my ideas, I think they'd probably be in a world of hurt anyways. Suckers...
It's interesting to see how optimistic and over-zealous I was with the dissertation this time last year. I've been writing for a year now on it and my scope has narrowed down significantly, and my writing processes are much slower than I anticipated they would be. However, T is happy with what I've done so far and I'm feeling really optimistic that I can finish everything by August.
So, here I am. Back to blogging. Back in the cyber-universe of online publishing. For what it's worth.

Cue "Welcome Back, Kotter" theme music. This is a much more conducive space to serious blogging than facebook or myspace could ever be. Glad you opened this back up!
I could never bring myself to keep a blog on any place but MySpace for very long. Guess that means I must not take it as seriously as other people.
No, I think I've just hit upon it. Blogs like these tend to be "themed," and there's really not any one theme I can stick to that would merit my protracted blogging on the web like you're doing. Well, of course, you know I have my interests. But who but me wants to hear about religious rhetoric ad nauseum?
Anyway, I'll be checking in from time to time to see how you're working it on this blog. I'm always glad to see my friends writing for fun ... or catharsis. :)
Peace.
You might be surprised, Brandon... I've got a friend or two who might be wholly (holy?) interested in what you've got to say. Most blogs have an audience of that size anyway, you know...
