Where is this blog going?

It's a curious thing; being the caretaker of a blog that nobody reads. Because whereas with other blogs, where your audience expects, and deserves, consistency and quality, here, I can basically blather on about any old thing.

Over on my other blog, INAKA, the focus is clear: toys. Getting rid of them, specifically. Here, the blog was more intended to be a journal of sorts, where I'd cover anything that took my fancy on a given day.

So, if you were to ask me what I intend on putting here in future, I would basically tell you, much of the same. I view this blog not so much a product of public consumption, but as more of a time capsule. Someday, maybe I or others would like to look back and see what I did one particular year, how I felt about a sport team or event at one time, and who I was. Like me, this blog ages, and I like having the knowledge that, should I choose to, I can reminisce.

In case you were pondering (what I'm pondering), Tony's top 20 video games ATM is suspended indefinitely. Not because I didn't like the concept, but because it's such an ever-shifting, ever-evolving topic. I know I addressed that, but all it takes is one playthrough of another game, old or new, to change my views. For example, Yoshi's Island wasn't in the top 20, but I revisited it recently, and really feel that it should be. If I were to recommence, it would be reformatted without ranking. Less pressure that way.

Expect more sport, whether you like it or not, because I intend to more actively follow my favourite teams. In case you were wondering (and I don't believe I ever made a definitive list), they are, in no particular order, the Tennessee Titans, Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Blue Jays, BC Lions, Toronto Raptors and the University of Hawai'i.

Plus, and sort of related, I'm undertaking a graduate diploma of commercial radio this year, so I may yet find a new medium to voice my many and often ignorant opinions. Maybe some stuff on that, but I rarely delve into the personal, so we'll see.

I'd like to maybe go more into my desire to see an NFL team in Toronto, and how it conflicts with my fandom for the CFL, and general admiration with the history and legacy of the Toronto Argonauts.

See, this is the thing. There's no commitment to anything, so I am unconcerned with what comes out. I think Atcho is my only reader, for that matter. Hello, Atcho!
