Finally a purpose

No doubt, you can tell that I have been long gone from this Blog. It has been my intention to get back into journaling again but have not been able to get my ass in gear and start writing again. I even put it down as one of my New Year resolutions. I have had a terrible time, making myself take the time to write. It is not a huge investment in time; I have not been motivated to write. I think of subjects all the time, I just never sit down and write. I think I finally have something to drive me to write. If this does not work, then it is just not in my nature to publicly write, which is unfortunate because this is something I thought I wanted to do. So anyway, there are two things that have sort of pushed me into re-awakening this Blog.

1. Mom – I think it would be interesting for her to see some of my writing. Not sure why,, maybe it will put her in touch with my activities and ramblings. On the other hand it may scare the crap out of her when she reads what I think about.
   
2. A Quest - A week ago at the starting line of the Houston half-marathon, I found a 2GB Memory card lying on the ground. This past week, I plugged the card in with the thought of making it mine, but what I found was a memory card full of actual memories. This card is full of pictures from all sorts of family events, parties, the inauguration, Mardi gras and some just ordinary activities. I could not bring myself to erase the card. I have taken it on as a quest to perform a Geek CSI and find the owner of this card. I am going through the pictures, looking for clues. Trace the clues to find the owner. So I will write about the activities surrounding the SANdisk search.
   

There are plenty of other reasons to Blog but those will be my motivators for now.
