Creeping apathy

I'm not doing a very good job of maintaining the blog. I lost my enthusiasm. I read the Dilbert blog daily. I just can't get inspired. Scott Adams cracks me up. He makes people laugh about serious subjects ... and some not so serious. Trying to emulate his writing style used to be enough to inspire me.

I'm disappointed in the response to my queries about the MX History blog. None were overly encouraging. Some were ignored. Maybe that is what I should have been writing about, my disappointment. I shouldn't be disappointed. MX wasn't the original inspiration for this blog. This blog started as more of a daily diary than an effort to share history ... even if it is a history that I love sharing.

With the Democrats winning the election, my passion for politics also diminished. I need to get inspired. The Toronto SX jump-started the old ticker. I was checking the RacerX Illustrated website and following the race hype. I was shocked to see that they had exploited my idea. I was going to query them about hanging my blog off their website. Damn! damn! damn! Steve Bruhn has a new blog hanging there. He's a photojournalist at RacerX. The subject matter is different but the idea is the same. Again, I'm a day late and a dollar short.

Today is Danny LaPorte's birthday. He is America's second MX World Champion. Following is a picture of him at the final race of the '82 season, Swedish 250 MX World Championship in Vimmerby Sweden.

I still have a few ideas for getting the MX History blog "on the air." But, for now, I think I'll stick to blogging about the general day-to-day flow of life in the slow lane. :-)
