Spring Cleaning

I do my spring cleaning in the fall. This year, I've decided to extend my spring cleaning into the online world. As I begin to attack my apartment (squalor!), my office space (semi-presentable), including my computer files at work and at home (a quagmire), I have also decided to clean out this rarely used blog and start anew. This seems to be my modus operandi when taking pen to journal in real life. I very often get fed up with myself and simply toss all evidence of my daily whining into the garbage.

So, I’m once again putting on a fresh face. As I dust the shelves and clean out the closets, I’ll also be re-skinning social media sites and updating profile pics. As I archive old work emails, I’ll be reassessing how I intend to use the magical interwebland as both learning tool and means of self-expression. I have a desire to share ideas in a public forum, but also loathe vanity projects like white Oprah’s GOOP. One must simply hopscotch through and see how it works out, I suppose. If it works, hurrah! If it sucks, Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

Perhaps this is just another attempt at coveting the woman I’ve always wanted to be rather than accept the woman I am. Perhaps I’m just trying to make an imaginary life more real. Well, why the fuck not?

I’ve spent this past year orbiting around the sun, happier than I've ever been before, but I think it’s time to take this spaceship back into outer space with two seemingly disparate goals in mind: Reality Check and Dreamland Exploration. And before and after the work whistle blows, it's time to get some real work done.
