beginning
When I first started blogging, it wasn’t like most other blogs. Sure, it centered around things that happened to me, in a way. It wasn’t really about the events of my life, but rather a place to express inner thoughts that otherwise might never see the light of day. It was more an online journal, or diary, rather than an update of what was happening, though the two coincided to a degree.
Somewhere along the way, my blogging changed. It became less about my inner thoughts and turned into the this what’s happening to me update. I started to censor my blogs because I knew some of my audience and didn’t want to cause complications. I hate what it’s turned the blog into, and I’m not particularly proud of what that’s done to me inside either.
I’ve accumulated sites along the way as well. I have no fewer than 5 different places to blog, though I’ve only really posted to 3 of them. My MySpace blog just mirrors certain entries from this blog - the other was effectively abandoned in February or so, when Zaadz was bought by Gaia, where I posted a lot of photos and haiku.
Effective immediately, I’m not going to blog anywhere for a while but my original blog - phagos.org - and I’m going back to my original style. I don’t care if anyone reads it or not - I didn’t write it for others, I wrote it for me. Somewhere, or more accurately some time ago, I forgot that I was writing for me and started writing for everyone else, then I started getting frustrated that few people were reading it. You know what? I don’t care any more. Because now I’m writing for myself again. If you want a glimpse of my innermost thoughts about things, stop by. If you don’t like what I think, don’t read it. Otherwise, I’ll see you around.
