why write? why web log?

Why indeed - just read this (I opened the tab to read the article but then wrote my own entry over lunch instead).

This is true - there are plenty of times when I would have been far less censored if this was private, and maybe I should have made a handful of the entries that way. But then, part of this is also an open book. Keeping it open helps me attempt at being a kinder asshole, helps take the edge off, if possible, and well, y'all probably know i can cut through pretty deep and mean and be f'n hurtful.

Anyway.

There is a lot of elements in here, and yes, I do feel quite a bit better about putting words together than I did in the past, past way back when I started.

I'll never have the readership or following than the popular blogs have, I'm the tiny niche in a niche before and after that niche was popular, and stayed kind of out of the spotlight even during the boom. And that's okay. I'm me. I'd love to be a more successful, more popular version of me but hey, some things are just they way they are.

So here... go read some professional writing for a change:
