It's 2011, let's start a new blog!

I have attempted to keep diaries growing up as a child.  I have written stories, poems, journals and letters to people.  It's something that I never kept up, just came in spurts during some of the most difficult times in my life.  Many people told me I should go into journalism, but the thought of the whole AP Style discipline wasn't appealing to me.  I am a free-writer, I write as if I am talking to you and don't care about grammar, spelling or proper writing etiquette, though I have gotten much better at it over the years.

So when computers became the new way to communicate with people, I would type out more stories, poems, journals and letters to people.  They call it blogging now.  Years ago, I started a blog on many different websites, all are long gone and for good reason. I didn't realize that you had to be careful about what you say on the internet.  I can only hope the Internet Archive Wayback Machine has not kept them to be used against me later.  :(

Well..... here I am again.  Life is in turmoil, but I am a little older and wiser and can be more responsible in my writings.  And honestly, I know I am not popular enough for anyone to care about what I write, but still, I vow to be as honest about my feelings as possible without saying something that could be used against me later.  After all, we are at the dawn of a New Information Age where access is excessive and privacy is minimalized.

Boy do I have a lot to say!!  Just hope I can keep it up and not get bored with it.  One thing I have learned about my writing is the good stuff comes out when times are bad.  When I don't write, it means my life has been going pretty good.  So this time, I want the good stuff to come out no matter if times are good or bad, tough or easy, joyous or disastrous, tiny or enormous.  I really think I can do it this time, but no promises.  We will see......
