Dogfish Juggling

I’ve written the copy below and updated my About page. I’ll let it speak for itself.

Welcome to the blog section of Dogfish Juggling.

I first began this blog some time ago, posted entries about juggling fairly regularly for a month or so, and then promptly abandoned the entire site. As of this writing, it has been some months since I have given any attention whatsoever to either this site, or this blog. However, a number of changes have occurred in my life, and some of them may actually prove conducive to a more comprehensive, more interesting and fuller accounting of my life.

For one, I am unemployed now. I don’t expect to remain entirely  jobless for long, but I can safely say I will have nothing like the demands placed upon my life by my next employer as were visited upon my by my last. That is to say the time of long days behind a desk and innumerable nights consumed by sporting events has come to an end.

As I am quite happily habituated to regular writing, I intend to exercise the craft on a daily basis and hope that I can actually coerce myself into maintaining a blog. As this is copy for a relatively timeless “about” page, I will make at least some endeavor to produce some semblance of a statement of purpose for the aforementioned project.

I will not be so foolish as to repeat my past mistake of limiting myself to the topic of juggling. While juggling is clearly of compelling interest in my life, it will not be altogether absent from my writings. Yet now I think I will set some loftier goals for myself. Well, broader at least.

I will also seek to avoid making this a mere chronology of the minutia of my life. Rather, this site shall serve as a repository for the bits and fragments of imagery which I may manage to shake loose from my head each day. I will endeavor to write for the sake of writing. Be it poetry, or prose whatever sort may emerge, I will strive to produce at least one meritorious work each week, and will view my daily entries as potential seeds to be cultivated and brought to fruit as their merit allows.

Well, then. The task is now freshly manifest. It has come to life in my mind as it developed here on the page.

And so the first step is taken.
