I've only been blogging for just over a month and already I'm starting to feel the nagging burnout. It's very similar to the way I felt after I got emersed in creating Disgraceland (the Web site) and had answered just one too many fan letters for Friz-Elvis, the Budgie King. I mean it starts out like fun and then I make the mistake of thinking I'm entertaining or worse yet, profound or provocative.
As the last bad guy Brandon Lee hunted down and killed for killing his wife in the Crow, "Sometimes I feel like a little worm on a great big hook." I was always fascinated by that movie for some reason. Maybe it's because Brandon Lee died making it and they still released it. The show must go on. Brandon Lee is one of the Bobbleheads in my "Bobblehead Rapture" photo.
But I digress.
Anyway, I leave tomorrow for a conference in Atlanta. I'm taking my laptop and I may or may not blog. One, I'm not terribly thrilled about the trip. I'll miss Tess and business trips have lost their thrill for me. Plus I hate wearing nametags and ties. And there is something about accomodations for business travelers that makes you feel like you are waking up in a cubicle.
Not too thrilled about flying dealing with the airport, either.
Tim-Elvis has the blues.
But I guess I won't think about it today. I'll think about it tomorrow, at Tara.
I feel an attack of the vapors coming on.

I get blog burnout, too. I've gone up to a month, without doing it. Ya just need the break, I guess. I've found, that blogging for an audience, rather than for yourself, makes the burnout almost inevitable. I always step back, when I think I'm writing more for you guys, than myself.
Whatever you decide, don't forget to keep in touch :p
The Crow has been in my top five favorite movies, since it came out. I saw it four times, in the theater.
Atlanta is a pretty city, and it's not too hot this time of year, so that's something, at least. Have fun in your tie, and remember, it can't rain all the time.
