Wow. I’m not going to lie, National Blog Posting Month was way harder this year than ever before.
As I’ve mentioned before, it’s hardest to maintain a blog when there’s something big going on in your life that you can’t write about for one reason or another. It’s tough, because my blog is basically just a collection of my thoughts and ideas, so when my thoughts are totally consumed with something I can’t discuss, writing is nearly impossible. Normally I just take a temporary hiatus until something bloggable comes along, but I felt driven to complete the post-every-day challenge this month, even though my mind was elsewhere. I can honestly say I’m not proud of the quality of some of my posts, but hell, I did it.
I should have some fun stuff to write about in the near future, so I’ll try my best not to disappear in December like I have in past years. (Although, I will need to take a bit of a break to study for finals).
Until then, I thought I’d leave you with a few quotes from the past couple days that I liked:
“I trust in Portlanders’ sense of fairness; that bad actions by one member of any group does not and should not be generalized or applied more widely to other members of that same group. Otherwise, as part of the biggest racial group in Portland, European-Americans, producing many crimes daily, would be in deep trouble.”
– Portland Mayor Sam Adams, in response to a question about Portland’s Somali community in the wake of the bomb attempt here last weekend.
“We need to learn not to profile one race of people. Because actually, most of the world hates us.”
– Kyle from South Park

Go! Mego!
You’re too hard on yourself, lady! I thought you posted a slew of interesting, insightful, and occasionally funny posts this month. Every time I would find myself posting a bunch of random photos or something, I would then read your blog and find something about the State of the Universe.
Nice work. It was fun NaBloPoMoing with you.
