People are using 1.11.11 as a 'major' date for [things], or Only now we can blog

1.11.11: I think this is because it is a cool-looking date that is towards the beginning of January, a month where people typically want to start to [do new things, reinvigorate old things, a combination of both]. Waiting till 1.11.11, a Tuesday, might seem odd, but it presents a decent opportunity to turn the thing you want/like to do into an 'event' of some kind.

If the thing happens to be 'blog in a consistent manner for some undeterminable reason' you should probably just kill yourself, or at least stop yourself from doing the thing. Tell yourself that your blog will never make the big blog dollars, tell yourself that you knew that already. Tell yourself that the thing you really want is far less tangible, is a state of calm organization where the loose ends are tied, the chicken is in the oven, the football game is on, the fancy beer cold, the podcasts air Thursday (every Thursday and Thursday only).

Until America [d]evolves into a state of constant underground vacation (step one: everyone join/start an internet band), so long as real world companies still rely on us for that insanely crucial [time period, varies] per week, when that damn day comes when we can finally weed our time--sleep less? eat less? TV less? RSS less? seriously, what? What less?--then we will be happy, then we will blog.
