Regularly-scheduled
timeouts are good and necessary for those engaging in creative activities such as blogging. All artisans and workers must eventually take a sabbatical or vacation to rest and rejuvenate from the toils of pursuing their passions.
This is what the chief executive blogger of Pierini Fitness did during a four month leave of absence from his cyberspace blog.
This is what the chief executive blogger of Pierini Fitness did during a four month leave of absence from his cyberspace blog.
What
I discovered is that, while in rest, a real blogger in hibernation nonetheless has an omnipresent, growing and uncontrollable desire to get back on the blogging
saddle.
A
real blogger must regularly practice their vocation of cyberspace expression
regardless if anyone is reading. A generation or two ago, and even now,
people did this by regularly adding to their dear diary using paper and pen.
I’m
a made in America middle-aged man cyberspace version of Italian Nanni Moretti
who directed the movie “Caro
Diario” while playing himself in a dry and satirical look at life.
Moretti
used the experience of traveling on his motor-scooter while cruising with his
friend around a set of remote islands in search of peace to finish his new
film. And along his way, he consulted doctor after doctor to cure his
annoying rash. The movie was a humorous look at his life and those around
him.
And
this is what Pierini
Fitness is
to me. A place where I share my middle-aged man reflections about living
and dying, gracefully aging and trying to live a good and honest life.
This Pierini Fitness blog is my cyberspace motor-scooter,
those few middle-age man brethren souls who sometimes frequent are my “friends”
cruising with me around a set of cyberspace remote blogflection islands in
search of peace to finish what will hopefully be a life well lived.
And
in my journey, I may consult with others by reading their take on life as
posted in comments and in private e-mails to cure me of this annoying
middle-aged man rash I have of being rebellious and rough around the edges.
Pax
Domini sit semper vobiscum
