This idea came to me about a week ago. Not novel, nor requiring any great intelligence for discovery -- some may even say 'self evident' -- for reasons which I may never reveal, or possibly in the subsequent paragraph, I'm seeking to start writing again. That is the idea; told you it wasn't novel.
It would appear that the revelation of my return will, indeed, occur here: writing in the moment is meritorious, particularly for future endeavors, interest, and reference. It allows one, if not explicitly, nevertheless the opportunity to relieve the moment, event, or idea in the spirit of the moment in which it occurred. So, that is why I am endeavoring to return, because there is a whole 2 year period (or worse) that I've gone dark, and now I have no record of how I got to where I am today (other than those blasted mental constructs known as 'memories', prone to fault).
Half the reason I ceased writing was because of a perceived lack of time; it invariably takes me probably three times the amount of time to write anything once as it does anybody else--the benefit being that I only need to write once (a sort of perpetual/living draft). So, that being the case, I will try to limit the subsequent posts, as holds true here, to stream-of-consciousness, else I will never get anything written, and I will certainly abandon the entire task.
Lastly, please no preconceptions that what I write will have any interest to you whatsoever; the function of this blog, as it currently stands, is a tool, or a means, to some other, broader , goal--which would be the same one that I just conjectured I would not be divulging two paragraphs ago, and shan't be after all. Of course, this entire paragraph assumes I even have a 'you' to speak to, which I very likely do not. Either way is quite fine, you may come along for the ride, if 'you' indeed exist.
Next order of business (and I may need a reminder, as I forget everything these days): I've been mentally rehearsing a blog about Taylor Swift that must be put to paper. As I am a 25-yr-old male former engineer, this will also require a bit of explanation. Stay tuned.

Is posting a comment to your blog odd? Perhaps, but I find it more appropriate (and convenient) than editing to add a 'PS'.
So I just read the previous blog post, and discovered I had essentially said the same thing I did here, just more eloquently. Hmm....

There is indeed at least one 'you' who exists. Hello!
Also, I mentally rehearse blog posts as well.
