So here I am, treading these familiar waters once again. I started this blog in 2008, partly as an attempt to be cool and "have" a blog but also in part because I did actually have ideas I believed merited a post every now and then. Yet as inevitable as the setting of the sun, my blog fell into neglect, forsaken ideas suspended in time - viewable to all but actually viewed by, well no one. I can hardly blame people for not being the slightest bit interested, after all the whole idea of a blog just a tad obnoxious. Besides, who doesn't hope to acquire a limited but loyal following who actually parcel out time to read about your excitement or happiness (in my case, usually the lack there of). Yet sadly, my initial enthusiasm soon faded and like all the previous blogs I had, this one bit the dust too. However something happened since my last (awful) blog post. I realized that a blog can be just as cathartic as it can be narcissistic. Its almost like the journal I never had, sans the little leather bound book and sacred pen that one usually associates with nostalgic journal keeping. Once I heard a singer say that, as selfish as it sounded, she didn't write and sing songs for her fans - the truth was that they were for herself. If people enjoyed them, well then that's great but if they didn't, oh well. I've decided that's the approach I'm taking to this reincarnation of my blog. Gone will be my introductions, or my semi-rant about what I will write about or what you should expect.
Just read it,
if you want ;-)
