I can't maintain a blog.

I just can't do it!

I can't share all these unfiltered half thought things with anyone but myself.   I can't even pretend that a pretend audience of two or three makes me any more likely to do it or do it well.    The only things I can show to anyone are academic things, warm and cold-sneeringly-academic at the same time, once they've been polished and parsed by me and approved by some higher sneering power, once the passion juice has been lessened by the sense of permanence.   One day I hope to publish something that can bridge those two mountaintops, cold-sneeringly-academic and passion-ful.  I've read many good things that do, which gives me hope. I think I tried to do it too. Most of the good things I've read are by anthropologists or geographers, but most clearly, they're human.

Anyway, but keep writing is the most important part.  Thank you world!
