Okay, here's the deal: if you are annoyed by other people's self indulgent ramblings...in questions without answers...in inside jokes and commentary...then stop right where you are. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred smackers. This is the place for all those things. If what you want is stories...then move on to the Alter Ego section. This is...well, what is this? Call it what you want...I certainly can't stop you if you want to use terms like online-journal or digital diary. When I started this self-serving endeavor the word "weblog" hadn't even been thought up by Jorn Barger. In fact, it was right around the time that "blogging" exploded that I got too busy living to document it all. I have written with pens in paper journals for as long as I can remember, and I have been burning those journals for just as long. Yes, burning. Ritualistically and somewhat pyrotechnically...whenever I need to move into a different phase...a new metamorphosis. |
