The original post was timestamped on January 3rd, 2008 13:30:50 PST. But on the evening of July 4th, 2016, I begin writing a new post. This is part of a larger effort to break away from my past, and some of the things I’ve done wrong.
What originally started as a simply life logue, will now transfer into a completely new thing. This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, but I hope by doing this, it’ll be a step in the right direction. I’m not sure what the final image of this website will be, but it will be more streamlined. I will not remove some old posts, but the type of posts I’ll make will be very much streamlined to a specific set of topics that are culturally-related.
The past random rants of rage will be taken down for the most part, except for a couple of thoughts that I think are still profound to me. So it’s not a complete departure, but a nice trimming and grooming of the blog. I used to identify myself by my job, but that’s now a distant past, and in between have held a different job. So then: What am I? WHO am I? It doesn’t matter, because it’s time I broke with my past self:
And I can’t do it kindly. I have to look at my relations with myself, my past, and other people, and can’t be kind.
“At the end of relationships, it’s the one who’s not in love who makes the tender speeches” –Marcel Proust
This phrase is actually interesting in two different ways. I’ll have to tell myself how to part with my past, and examine a lot of things. But also, I’ve been on both ends of this issue in relationships before, and it reminds me of a song.
