Goodbyes Humanus

Thinking about topics to write about is difficult with a topic like this. It is so specific, that without being a psychologist, it is hard to write about things that are interesting for the reader and for the author. Some topics can turn out to be really fun to write about and, I hope, fun to read. My favorite two have been the video-based 88 Key Staircase and the story/article based Balloon Fun. These posts were about something that is interesting to begin with, and I enjoyed posing questions and discussing some of the causes and some of the events' implications. However, topics like these, I have found, take considerable time and effort to find. Yes, Balloon Fun was based on an event that was receiving widespread news coverage at the time, but something that crazy doesn't happen very often.

It isn't these posts that make me want to venture into something new. I think the reason I want to change is the fact that sometimes, I just didn't have adequate raw material to start with, and for my topic, I need raw material; it is hard to just think of something. So, I would like to say goodbye to Oddities Humanus. Stay tuned for the Irish American's new title and topic!
