coming soon...

... i have a post cooking up in my head, but i have no idea how to start it off. it's a substantial idea, but i haven't ironed out how i want to talk about it, and this lack of scope, per say, is BUGGIN' the CRAP out of me...

i have a title.

i know what i want to say in the body.

but i do NOT have a clue on how i want present the whole thing... BLAST!



this whole "writers block" thing is a bit boring...

Dear Bloggers,

let me start by saying, i love what you're doing. everyone has such a different style of blogging. everyone has a different delivery. it's great, it really is. i can't get enough of it, and THEREIN lies the problem. you guys aren't posting at a rapid enough rate.

lets try something...

close your eyes and picture this. i log onto my computer, at work or at home, and i go to my google reader (which organizes all of the blogs that i subscribe to, and lists the new posts in chronological order so that i don't have to click on 22 some-odd different blog links to check for new material... it's awesome and i highly recommend it.) to check if there is any fun new adventures, deeply philosophical topics, or anything in between, that people have cared to share with me. imagine my devastation when i log on and find a big gigantic goose egg in the "unread items."

a goose egg.

seriously people?! that's the best you've got? it's been like 4 hours since your last post, are trying to say that you have nothing to share, because i think you do. otherwise, what the EFF am i supposed to do between posts... nothing.

you might be saying, 'drick, you're the worst offender of this infraction...' and let me stop you right there. this isn't about me. this is about you all being better bloggers. that's what i'm about.

so lets get to work on this, yeah? thanks in advance.

be blessed,
drick j. iglesia

merienda: a blog before a blog...

so it's been a couple of weeks since my last real blog.

i guess you could say that i've come across a bit of writers block. i've had a draft here sitting in my emails for several days already (i publish straight from my email.... it's easier that way...), but i can't exactly seem to wrap my head round what it is i'm trying to say. it has to do with change, both personal and societal, im thinking about splitting up the two. i won't bore you with the details just yet; you'll see it when it gets published i guess.

more or less, i just wanted to post something for the sake of posting something. i'm sitting here in a quiet house at the end of my day waiting for a load of laundry to finish, kind of just, running the proverbial clock out. i just got done reading a couple of really good blog posts and it made me want to write something. but the substantial stuff is coming on another blog, this is just a miniature nonsense blog before a real blog. a merienda, if you will.

[a merienda is an afternoon snack and is big in filipino and spanish cultures. it's kind of like the "brunch" of lunch and dinner.]
