It got really hard to come here and update. I felt like everything I'd written up till now was lying there, rotting, like dead meat. People about whom I'd written had followed a meandering path to Diaryland, and it was only a matter of time before they would read what I'd written.

So this is the fresh start.

What do I want to say from here on out?

Well, I don't want Diaryland to be a place where I come to write about what's happening to me on a day-to-day basis. For me, that quickly degenerates into a "how cool can I make myself sound" situation. Hey, don't look so suprised. You know that there's an element of that in all these diaries.

I want to try to be a bit more universal and write about my experiences in a more objective way. I think that sounds healthy. It sounds like good writing excersize, and hey, that's what I've tried to convince myself this is all about; a place to come and learn how to get ideas out of my head and convert them into a series of 26 symbols, seasoned with a handful of punctuation marks.

Perhaps, maybe, just maybe I'll allow myself a little list of the day's events so that I can associate ideas with occurences when I come back for a look. Something like this:

  • Went to Sonic Youth concert last night. It was too loud.
  • Slept in the office on the floor, feel like crap.
Or maybe not. I don't know.
