Something for a Rainy Day

I got to thinking, and figured that it would be a good idea to keep some sort of backlog of things that I write so that on weeks that I’m just super busy I’ll still have something to put up here. The problem is that so much of what I want to write is about something that is a current event. Also, I have this odd complex where if I don’t write about something right away, then I lose my thoughts on it, and forget what I was going to say. If I do go back and take a stab at it, I usually don’t come up with something that is nearly as witty or interesting as the first thing that I had. I’ve tried taking notes to use for later, but that doesn’t always work. Also, I feel compelled to keep up with the current things (remember my obsession with new information?), and that doesn’t go well with keeping things in a backlog. Granted, there are a few rants that I have that I can use. Again, though, I tend to not go off on things unless I’ve somehow been prompted by something else. Oh well, we will see. I know that I said I read the article that said not to be too upset about not posting often, I also don’t like to have days of just emptiness. Especially when I’ve got so many friends that are bored at work and rely on me to keep them entertained…
