Title (I Actually Typed "Title")
Here I am, at 2:30 a.m. on a Friday night/Saturday morning, unable to sleep despite three hours of trying, typing out what will be my first Substack post in over eight months, and the very first that some of you will be receiving in your inbox as subscribers have continued to trickle in.
All those months ago, I subtitled this glorified blog1 as “Weekly Essays on Interesting Topics.” That first part hasn’t been true for a while and that second part won’t be true here. Heck, it’s all been stream of consciousness so far, and I don’t see when that will stop.
At this point I’m reminded of a Simpsons scene, from which I’ll take just two words out of context: “Why anything?”
I’m not planning to commit certain deeds, and I’m not planning to get philosophical, either. I guess all I mean is that when I click “post” on this… post, I’m not doing it for any particular reason. I couldn’t sleep and now we’re here. Nothing else to really say, so I won’t.
From Blogger to WordPress to Substack, it’s all blogging, to one level of glorification or another.
