Why start a blog now? I've been commenting on various other blogs for years, started and abandoned several blogs. Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm overly opinionated. And I've got more fake pretend internet friends than I think I ever knew in the real world, and most of my meatspace friends get updated through email anyway, so it would only make sense for me to update them all at once.
Maybe a better question is, why not before? Well, despite all the personal details that I've revealed online about various details in my past, I'm a pretty private person. I'd be willing to bet that most of my fake pretend internet friends have much of an idea of the recent events that have led me to compulsively check on everyone I ever knew. And I'd be willing to bet that many of my meatspace friends have not much of an idea of what I do at a computer. (no, I'm not running a midget porn shop or hacking into the Pentagon.) But I haven't felt the urge to post any of this stuff online in one place until recently, when I realized that I'd lost touch with some people who were really important to me and maybe lost a little of myself along the way too. I also couldn't decide what direction to take a blog in - but I guess this doesn't have to have a direction. Or more accurately, the direction is me.
So if you've found this, say hello or f&$# you or something - just don't be silent. None of you will agree with everything I have to say, but that doesn't mean there's nothing here for you. Well, OK, at this point there's nothing here for you, because there's nothing here. But hopefully there will be soon.
