get inspired?

I need to be writing more, just been busy living...
I will leave you this, to reflect on, from a good friend of mine's blog...

"Someone asked me today if I still kept a blog, to which I laughed and said NO. They responded that that was a shame, because they thought it was good for me, and that I was a good writer. I don't know about either of those things, but maybe to an extent they're true. But what do you write about? What do you not write about??- That's the one that always did me in.

You write about anything, but you write it as seen from your eyes, from your perspective, and you don't pussyfoot around it, you don't soften it, you don't name names, you don't be malicious, but you don't lie. And you gotta make them laugh every once in awhile, or else they'll just keep on browsing. So maybe I'll give this thing another try, hop back on the horse, stop worrying about the reactions and just be myself. And whatever they take away from it is up to them."

Sounds like a pretty good philisophy on blogging. I have been tempted to keep a second blog for more personal/non-skate stuff, but then when would I do work?

Don't talk about it, be about it!
