Everyone can thank my intellectual inspiration Fishfry for cajoling me into writing something. I've been reluctant. Recitant. Resistant. Lazy.
I've wanted to write something political. Something about what happened in Madrid, and how much that horror and its results scare me. Something about the GWOT, and how much of a misnomer that is. Something about the recent Fallujah attack, and how I truly hope it's not going to be Mogadishu II. There are so many topics that cross my mind, and so few reasonable people to talk to, that it drives me to want to put my thoughts here if only to offload the excess of their weight. Thank god for Ian, the only voice of reason I hear - and who lets me be heard in turn.
I've wanted to write something romantic. Something about Cody, or Rhiannon, or maybe something about dating and it's diffuse and confusing nature. I haven't written about Denali in so long, I'm not even sure where to begin. Perhaps a whole new website? I'm not sure anymore what, where, who, or why my heart is pulled or pushed. I know how, but naturally that's the least important.
I've considered writing about my financial situation. About work, or the lack thereof. The problem is always that the stories are plentiful, but dull and short. It's uninspiring, which is a step up from apathetic, but still short of jungle-drum excitement. It's been disappointing to see how few people were there to help me find work. It's been frustrating to be unable to communicate just how exactly I need the help to come. It's been surprising to see who has come out of the woodwork to throw me a bone (hat tip: Evan & Theo).
In the end, I write about Dawn of the Dead and frivolous web findings. I hope that'll do for now. I'm disappointed by my failure to infuse this site with its title's intent, but I hope to see that change soon. Surely this post will be depressing enough to thrill the old-school 3leet.com readers and robust enough to milk a few non-spam comments out of the rest.

I think you might have offloaded some of your inspiration on to others, as the blogosphere has been a lot busier in other places lately. Give a little, take a little. Er, something.
