<h2>Midnight Musings</h2>
<p>It's really more like 5 in the morning, but whatever.</p>
<p>I'm honestly not entirely sure what I want out of this website. On the one thing, I could host a blog here, but on the other, I'm trying to do so by writing out the markup by fucking hand. Like c'mon, guy.</p>
<p>Perhaps it's just because it's way way late, perhaps it's because I didn't get enough sleep last night, perhaps a combination thereof, but I don't really care. I feel like there's charm in just writing it out in HTML and committing it, waiting for my box to pull it at noon.</p>
<p>But back to the point at hand: I have no clue what to do here. Like, it already aggregates links just fine. I've lost many an hour just making this place look good and all I use it for is a New Tab page that I break every fifth commit and ignore half the time anyway.</p>
<p>Perhaps it's the right idea to host a blog here. Already I feel a bit clearer-headed writing my thoughts out like this (even if it is 5AM and my eyes hurt). I've gotta figure a few things out, probably script the production of these posts and manage an RSS feed, but altogether I'm starting to warm up to the idea.</p>
<p>You wouldn't think it reading through this stream-of-consciousness garbage, but I used to be pretty good at writing. I used to be able to write very coherent papers with good pacing and pleasing verbiage, but most of those abilities have fallen off to the wayside since the only things I've written since are tweets and reddit posts. I've started to swear a lot more in place of using accurate wording to express my points-</p>
<p>God dammit, that's like the third time 29 Years has come on. Hang on.</p>
<p>There we go.</p>
<p>-which is possibly the worst fate for a writer. That and carpal tunnel, I suppose.</p>
<p>Yeah, this oughtta be the remedy for my prose that I've been looking for. Getting back into the rhythm of writing for fun has been on my backlog for so long and I've now got the opportunity to execute it. It'll be healthy, for sure.</p>
<p>But typing this out by hand sucks.</p>
