Grievances and Big Plans

This summer, I allowed myself to be peer-pressured into abandoning this blog in favor of a Tumblr. It wasn't my finest moment, and I regret it to this day.
The beauty of blogging, in my opinion, is the ability to compose thoughtful posts and chuck them out into the cyber community for judgment and ridicule. But sites like Tumblr discount the idea of writing, almost altogether. Why put the time and effort into crafting a thought-provoking post when you could just throw another Facebook status up there or pound out a pop-culture quote or song lyrics? Why analyze the world around you when you could, with less effort, get more responses by posting a picture of your dog?
So, I'm saying good-bye to Tumblr and am officially returning to my "lame" old-style blog here. It may not get as many eyes to scan over it, but that's okay. If I write it, those who truly want to read it will come.
I have big plans to get this going again, per usual. We'll see if my commitments allow me the time.
