Day two-hundred-twenty-four

I'm been thinking of how the blog has been going thus far, and I've come to the conclusion that some changes are in order.

I've said numerous times that I hate the name of this blog. It sort of comes from how I used to tell my friend Joshua that I didn't want to be "that guy". Everyone has an idea of who "that guy" is, the guy you shouldn't trust, the guy who isn't any good, especially to women. I've never liked "that guy", and never wanted to be "that guy". Of course, with the name of this blog, I have, in a sense, become "that guy".

Where am I going with this? I can't change the name of the blog, otherwise it would change the URL. If that's the case, it might as well be another blog. I've been thinking, therefore, that when the year ends, I may retire this blog and start a new one. This blog has been all over the place, in terms of content, quality, and my willingness to work at it. I don't exactly regret choosing to blog daily, as it's kept me motivated. That said, there have been times (more times than I care for, really) where I literally just posted prattle to meet a daily deadline. I would gather produce quality work and perhaps that might mean posting less often.

I guess it's pretty clear that for as long and as continuously that I've been writing, I still have so much to learn. I'm really still figuring a lot of things out, and this blog has been a help. I just want it to be better.
