Blogging for My Own Good.

I've decided to find a new online realm for my blogging needs, and Blogspot seems to be hot at the moment. So here I am. I'm not entirely sure of  how long, but I think I utilized Myspace for a solid five years for all of my blogging needs, minus the occasional Facebook note. I'm currently counting the days until my Myspace blog ceases to exist (I'm not really counting). I've read that the fate of Myspace is in the air, but it's impending demise seems all but uncertain. As Myspace has been experiencing it's death-throes over the past few years, my interest in maintaining a consistent blog has waned considerably with it.

Over the years I've seen the rise and fall of many blogging/social networking websites/utilities. I remember being addicted to posting on Modblog many years ago, which might as well have never existed according to the results of the google search I just did on it. Before that I maintained a Geocities personal webpage, which has also been lost in the ever changing cyber-scape.

 I don't care about the death of any of these websites, but I have grown tired of investing myself in my writing and losing it. I'm sure if I were to read any thing I wrote six, seven, & eight years ago I would be embarrassed by my overly critical, hypocritical rantings--hardly insightful insights spanning across all the dark crevices of life, courtesy of a sixteen year old virgin, nary a perspective on life. Back when Maddox would get a million views for every new post within a day's span. I think he is going the way of Myspace nowadays. I sure had a lot to say though, and I did.

Here I am now, 24 years and 3 days old--not quite looking my college degree in the face--but I can smell that it's just around the corner. Here I am thinking I need the therapy of a regular blog, something that I can put some time into here & there, and get a sense of accomplishment. I think it's important to let your existence be known, & bloggin' is a always decent start for me.
