This is already the third time I've tried to write this blog because UG keeps screwing with me. I'm just going to outline what I'd written twice already
I came to the conclusion that I could be spending my time in better ways than browsing The Pit (at this point, I was somehow also able to advertise House).
This revelation came to me when somebody in the ctb thread (RIP) mentioned me in a list of users they wanted to be like when they first entered The Pit
I was surprised and petrified- I hadn't done anything noteworthy for somebody to mention my name, all I did was spend time on a forum, stating my opinions and thoughts (which, as Corey so eloquently wrote in a comment that now resides in my signature, does not always work out for the best).
I then realized that it was not The Pit's fault that I'd been spending more time doing that than doing something incredible for humanity. It was my own fault. I make the decisions, The Pit doesn't.
I also realized that cutting UG out of my life completely would not help either, because the Internet is a vast plain of incredible potential that grows and nurtures a bevy of merciless wild beasts known as websites. I will frolic to another one of these if I simply leave UG.
Moderation is the key
I mentioned that up till now I've been able to keep my studying, my guitar playing (I also advertised the fact that I'm writing an album at this point), and UG separate, and I hope that I will be able to keep from being distracted by anything once school starts and I need to buckle down and work.
So that was the main gist of it. However, the evil deceitful liars, the Preview Blog and Post Blog buttons, distracted me from my intentions and forced me to believe that they are one and the same. Their accomplice, the Back button aided their quest to extinguish any traces of my metaphor-filled analytical response to The Pit.
Seriously, UG should have an auto-save feature on these blogs.
