When I looked again at the dates of the latest posts on this so-fascinating work I realized why they seemed familiar; Paideia's a couple days past a year old.
Why is this important?
It isn't, really at all. Just an observation.
What have I done in all that time? Disregarding the "slight" hiatus during the summertime I've posted a hell of a lot of song quotes, some literary analysis and commentary, some productions of an extremely bored or tired brain, and a few character profiles of aid-seeking Writing Center visitors. Perhaps the occasional flash of half-assed philosophy where I find life in the form of a potato beetle. Excellent. I rather liked my weedbed inspirations and golden garden days.
A friend and I were discussing the foredoomed tradition of New Year's resolutions the other day. Really, how many people do you know who make resolutions, let alone keep them? It's easy enough to get caught up in the spirit of rebirth and resurrection and to want ourselves to take part in the new spring of life as well, be it through losing weight or getting fit or quitting smoking - always something designed to boost one's self-confidence. But then there's always something else that needs to be done and somehow we just never get to that gym session we said we'd make faithfully every week and before we know it it's New Year's again and we're making the same resolution over again.
New Year's resolutions are of course a horrible example to use. But why is it that only a lucky few succeed in getting to do what they really want?
Power and control, Francine
