The admission is that I think that my energy and inclination toward blogging has taken and will yet take a dive in recent times. Recently I don't have the energy for it and I don't have much that interests me enough right now to put forth the (yes, it's true) meager amount of energy that it takes to actually type something out and post on my blog. So I'm kind of self-announcing that I'm granting myself permission to blog less often now that we're back in the US, at least for a while.
I remember that, when I started this blog, I was really excited to write in it and post my analysis of stuff and opine and whine and announce our going to Japan. And I honestly enjoyed describing our experiences in Japan as well. But now my life has returned to American-style and I'll just be working a lot for a while.
So here's to lack of energy. Hopefully I'll get more ganas to post in the near future. If not, well, there's always the next time we go overseas (Lord willing).
You could try posting a blog about your life in America as though it were foreign. For example:
ReplyDelete"Today I had another experience riding in what the natives call a 'car'. It has four wheels and is powered by an internal combustion engine that burns something called 'gasoline'. It's crazy how fast you can go on if you really press on the accelerator pedal, but it's not always easy to outrun those quirky 'highway patrol' officers (as they're called), and they seem to get really bent out of shape if they do catch you. Not understanding most of what they say, I usually just nod, smile, and say 'yes, sir'. Once I asked one if could take his picture (I was going to post it on this blog), but he said if I did he would have to take my picture from the front and from the side while I held a little plaque with numbers on it--whatever that meant."
Very interesting blog...I shall return!
