Well, hello there!
Clicking back over to my blog, I read some of the things that I had posted earlier. To be honest, reading those posts now scares me to a degree. Reading this, a year later, it is plainly obvious where I had no clue what so ever what I was talking about.
That's always a fun feeling. "Oh, hey, look at all of this stuff I wrote about a year and a half ago. It's... it is... so.. entirely wrong. And to think I took my time to write that, scanned it once for typos (missed many), and then attached my name to it by clicking the big 'Save' button."
I was sorely tempted to remove my existing content (content! ha!) and start over with this post, but that feeling quickly subsided when I remembered that no matter how hard I try, and no matter how little people may care, somewhere it was archived. Saved as organized bits on a disk somewhere in the world, indexed by multiple bots, and easily found by anyone looking for my name. Kinda creepy when you think about it.
The other reason that I quickly gave that up, is equally simple. Some of it, I actually like. I've outlined in the past in great detail things which I still believe, and a lot of my philosophies. Sure, the ratio of posts I like is still nearly three to one, but hey, I'll live with it.
After just over a year of not touching this blog, for reasons many, I think I'll be.. well, I don't want to say "back to blogging." There's too much cliche involved with that line. I can think of no quicker way to blog deletion than by announcing my triumphant return of posting random things that no one cares about on a website that no one subscribes to (let alone visits to post comments).
Except of course, for the bots (feed aggregators included).
But who knows what will happen!
