… was meager.
Rather than enjoying some anime before sleep, I’m going to blurb. How does a 36 hour period feel like 72? Well, without details, it is about diversity, and especially diversity of enjoyment.
There are times when seeing is epic and times when eating is insignificant, this was my lesson for the moment. I took out a notepad and began a list… 99 reason I should not anime blog. Roughly 24 reasons in, I thought it unfair, and columnized another heading, 99 reasons I should anime blog.
These lists will surface, eventually, incomplete and unnumbered. In short, the initial 99 reasons are quite amazing, as there are no relations to anime, nor downward thumbs; these are positive aspects, diversities, each fully establish in a life.
The converse list, will be similar, and though blank, atm, it will likely be moments in my experience with anime that influence my desire to blog… this is the sad list, as many of those moments have departed in the cyclical flux of my being, and waiting for another chance to shine in elder eyes that were once intrigued.
Diversity, confinement, and the relation between; a similar circumstance to my own. I believe the premise of AloeDream is movement upstream. Maybe I can anime blog, but I require a separate premise. Editorials are out, summaries are out, the “blog” is overkill for my reflections, meta-meta tastes bad, special purpose is more confined, and day-2-day is disconnecting. Is there any way to cope with diversity? 99 reasons.
As life beams the curve balls, we learn to hit them, but we soon find that we can run only one set of bases.
Ryan A, as in less violent definition of ‘A’mok.
Note: The usage of “should not” is not synonymous with “should stop” 
btw, I’m perfectly fine and nothing “occurred”, simply soft moments of silence, in an unfamiliar environment.
Don’t you DARE quit! LOLS
I won’t quit, I just need to find a premise. I’ve no intention to quit experiencing anime for one, nor to quit reading blogs, and I won’t stop reflecting on whatever I’m viewing. I’m not really writing about anything though, its just scattered. At least with reflections I have a structured way about them.
If anything, I will be creating a new blog just for this, but it won’t be confined to “anime” although that will be the purpose; meta blogging, but from a personal perspective/relation…. here’s the gist:
99 reason, To blog or not to blog… anime, a personal journey to find the answer. Unlike a continuous blog, this will likely be finite, and result in whether I continue anime blogging. ^^
I think we all think about this a lot. Of course, for those of us continuing, we see a lot more positive reasons to blog when we sit down to think about it. The easiest reason: why would we stop something we enjoy doing?
I find that a thoroughly focused site stifles creativity. It drove me crazy, which prompted me to close my previous site and open up my current blog. Granted, it’s mostly anime so far but the fact that I defined it from the very start as a blog with options gives me more personal freedom. I expect to see more non-anime things in the future. Good luck on your new site. ^_^
@totali, indeed. finding continuous inspiration to blog is nice, in my case the inspiration the past year has been to reflect, which can be done with a blog of course ^^ I like the ep2ep ordeal, whereas it seemed extremely time-consuming before, I now have a more efficient method to handle ep2ep, just it isn’t in this blog lol. I’m definitely leaning towards this episodic ideal, because it is a simple and effective premise
@Caitlin, too true! This is why this blog is backwards for me. In RL, I can’t stay pinned to anything, and it pisses ppl off (esp. on IM and such), but I drift and flow physically, and more important mentally. I can blog, I have had personal blogs for years, but they don’t need a premise at all, just fly. The 99 reasons are like alibi, a tribute to this flow of life, where anime is such a slice, there are 99 others, I don’t want to incorporate all these things with anime, but why blog just anime… without a decent premise?
99stimuli.akameta.com is probably where I’ll begin.
