New Directions

So among the myriad reasons why I haven't been blogging is that I feel like this blog is being pulled in too many different directions.

I've been using it as a journal/diary for self-analysis, as a philosophy of mind/cognitive science blog, as a place to talk about self-empowerment, and as a planning area for my days, weeks, years, and life.

I have a ton of posts that are all unpublished simply because I'm no longer sure where I should be publishing them.

What I will be doing over the next 2 weeks:  Separating this blog into 2, possibly 3 distinct sites.  One will be very scientific-oriented, with a heavy emphasis on Cognitive Science, Philosophy of Mind, and Psychology.  One will be very personal, and may even be private, with a heavy emphasis on my own personal growth, life planning, and possibly even daily activities if I have time to blog that much.  The myriad of my posts that don't fall into one of these two categories will either be posted to a third blog, or something else.

What will I do with this blog and its archives?  I'm not sure at this point.  I may eventually resort these posts and categorize, then move them into the correct new blog.  Or I may just archive this whole blog and mothball it.

I apologize to all of my regular readers, all 2 of you, who have missed me for the last three months.  If any of you do read this and want to follow me on my personal blog, please comment or message me, and I will be sure to let you know the subsequent address and allow you to read, even if I make it semi-private.

The cog-sci blog will be public for certain, and will probably be linked to my irl identity.  Eventually, I'd like to link both, and perhaps will, soon.  Time will tell.

I found your blog through the search of a single phrase, a question which I hoped to find the answer to. Instead, I found something incredible.

I confess I have not read all of your posts but some of them were enough, simply the titles enough in some cases. I find my inner self, is vastly similar and so you have laid out so many of my own ponderings, both resolved and unresolved ones, and I feel somewhat lighter knowing that I am not alone in such thoughts and actions.

You have a concise means of getting to the heart of things, perhaps this is simply your truthfulness but I feel now that I am not alone.

Take heart in knowing that your thoughts typed out were enough to steady this old soul. Thank you. I share many of your thoughts, just not your disciplines.
