My Return to Rambling

 It's hard to believe that my last entry on this blog was in 2018. 

It's been a long hiatus. 

My reasons have been equal parts complex and predictable, but after revisiting some of my old writings, I realized it's been long enough - it's time to come back. Not because I have a plethora of ideas on recent entertainment or think that these musings will amount to anything, but for the simple reason that I enjoy it. In the past several months, I coached a friend on exploring his strengths in a new way and he started two podcasts. The audience may be the small, but the passion is real. For me, seeing how this outlet has been such a sweet endeavor for my friend was the confirmation that I needed to come back to my own creative outlets. 

It's funny how a few years can change one's perspective, and I find that in going back to my old posts, I don't even agree with all of my old opinions. That's the nature of time; You grow in appreciation for some things and lose enthusiasm for other things. 

The time between 2018 and now has held many changes for me that have altered my perspective on life in general. I don't watch as many movies as I used to, so coming back is going to be interesting and likely more focused on streaming shows. Maybe my stash of drafts will finally reach completion. Maybe I'll revisit some of old favorites and analyze things from my older, and hopefully an iota wiser, perspective. 

 So here I am. Let's see what happens.
