Resolution-less

I don't think I belive in resolutions. I could say one resolution is to write more this year, but writing more is always a resolution. This blog is a means to that end, I suppose, but I don't want to say "This year I reslove to post new entries in my blog every day!" Because I won't.

But I do want to use this here thing. It's basically a replacement for my journal, which I've been criminally neglecting over the past few years; my pen can't seem to keep up with my hand. I do feel there's something in the rhythm of writing that's lost when it's typed and not drawn out in longhand...but if I'm too lazy to write in my journal in the first place, then there's a lost more lost, isn't there?

I kind of wish Sneezy & Tacky looked more bare-bones. Maybe I could find a special template called "Jenky" or "1987", one that matches the general feel of this better--I decided not to use photos, because I can't figure out how. And I don't have any links here, because I can't figure that out, either. That's what I prefer about good old-fashioned cut-and-paste projects: you fine paper, you cut it up, you glue it together. It's so tactile and singular and somehow more special, more exclusive. Like, in my paper journals I can paste ticket stubs and random emphemera like that. Here, all I have are letters and numbers blinking on a screen.

So, in a way, this is as raw as it gets. No spellcheking, no graphics, no fancy-pantsy thans and that. But I'm not writing thisa blog to share...it's all for me, for my own discipline and convenience. It's a bit anti-blog, I suppose. Maybe someday there will be a real hard copy Sneezy & Tacky...Brown? What do you think?
