Never give up, never surrender.

I've come upon what I think is a good idea for this blog. Hopefully, it will rekindle my excitement for it.

To be honest, I'm probably better suited for the tumblr style blog. But tumblr stresses me out. It goes on forever. I walk away for a second and suddenly I've fallen behind. I feel lazy with tumblr because long posts seem tedious and all I really want to do is scroll and gaze at things and then like them. Lately, all I've been posting is pictures and videos. I haven't said much of anything of consequence. I like to imagine important people stumbling upon my blog, but if they did that lately, they'd find nothing terribly interesting - except for some great pictures and wonderful videos. The posts I've been most proud of are the ones where I stated a definite opinion and received responses. I am very passionate about old movies and I love to talk about them. The trouble is, movies are very personally to me, and always have been. I get very upset when people bash a movie that I'm fond of, which is one of the reasons I've stopped reading other blogs. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I think we're all entitled to our own love for things.

All this to say, I want to keep the blog. I really want to get it going again. Part of me wants to keep posting randomly in it, but the whole thing is pretty much puttered out now. I think it needs a new haul. I have an idea for what I'd like to do with it, at least for a year - but this idea requires me to start in January. So, I'm thinking of waiting until January to bring the blog back up again. Of course, this would mean that my blog would be down until next year - which would mean no 12 Days of Christmas Movies blogathon, which is really one of my favorite things about my blog. So, I'm trying to decide what to do. Thoughts?
