Relaunch. Again. For like, the millionth time.

So as you may or may not have noticed, this blog has fallen into disuse. This may be shocking to some of you in the blogging world who are used the steadfast commitement people usually bring to blog writing. The unyielding dedication to midnight pledges of daily updates. So I feel somewhat guilty for being the first to slowly grow tired of maintaining the illusion of an aspirational writing career.

However a confluence of events has inspired me to revisit Laconic Reply.

#1 - Copying other people.

I always strive to be more like Mark Cluett. The one on the right. This guy.

In that vein I contemplated launching a Tumbr account in his model of short and quick musings. But then I realized that I already have a blog site I pay for and I'm too lazy to redirect this domain name to a new location. So the blogging will remain here.

Also, Kevin Naulls is kicking some ass with his blog to the point that people are giving him free stuff. So I think I should step it up considering I'm almost half the man he is, IN SPITE of my handicap of being unable to grow non-pedo facial hair.

#2 - I'm already writing.

I often write 90% of a blog post based on some random source of inspiration and then give up without posting it.

Also, Joey Nowak occasionally sends me emails composed entirely of a "Look at this" and a link. For some reason the content she sends me almost always illicits a 10-15 paragraph response, despite being nothing but a kitten video or poorly written copyright-related article.

Usually her response to my prose is nothing but a simple "Wow" or silence, either of which I assume signifies her being stunned dumb by the beauty and eloquence of my words. So I feel that I should not limit this valuable knowledge to only Joey's consumption, and instead share it with the world.

#3 - Living in Goldsboro, NC is boring and I have nothing else to do with my time.

So from now on I plan on posting things here more frequently.

But how am I going to do that if I wasn't able to maintain it before? By decreasing the quality of course! Previously the bulk of my blog-writing time was spent hunting photos for hours, or proof-reading my work to perfection. This new work will minimize both of those things.

This new work will largely be composed of big blocks of ranty text, quickly written, and poorly thought out. It's not intended to be perfect, or even good. It's intended to be a snapshot of my ideas and attitudes at a given moment. And if the rest of you get some entertainment out of it, even at my expense, all the better.

First new post to follow.
