simplicity

there’s really a whole lot to be said for simplicity. more and more i think i am running into that truth. my room wouldn’t be a basically unusable mess if i had less stuff; i’d write in my journal if i didn’t have a dozen of them; i’d have already registered all the domain names i intend, if there weren’t so many ways to go about it. quite furthermore, i’d have built this site to be much futher along to where i’d like it to be, if there weren’t so many different ways to do it; CMS’s with which to do it; other sites in mind to build.
but.

i’m suddenly feeling terribly lazy. i want a clean slate on a lot of things… my packrattish nature is not caring overly much today. clear the slate and find the choices and go the worthwhile ways.

i’ve been at this computer screen too much the past few days. i’ve learned a lot and enjoyed a lot; and i’m not done with most of it, even if some was accomplished, and much much more was gleaned. but i need some time away. where’s my head? it’s on this stuff, in a way… it’s on the ideas that grow, particularly when i’m alone.. but they’re ideas that push through with motivation. motivation, for me, has usually always been someone else. i like myself fine, but i don’t terribly need anything from myself. ... so, so many ways to go. and i finished the cookie dough ice cream today.
