Seriously, I haven't gone full-bore back into an "online journal" but I found I wanted to do something - mostly for friends of mine offline that happen to get online. Maybe coming back to it after a hiatus will alter your approach as it has mine. I only post a couple times a month. That reminds me... I should probably post something in a week or so.

For a while before I stopped blogging, I found myself blogging about everything and nothing - no "real world" tie into what I was writing about online. I found myself looking at a lot of entries that held no real reminiscing of what's gone on in the past few months. Sure there was some stuff, but not by much. My own perspective - at least now - is that writing about things that have NOTHING to do with the online universe actually makes for interesting reading. Feels less like a bubble when I'm not posting stupid graphics on Evan Williams. You shouldn't be looking back on period of entries and thinking to yourself, "Wow, this entry takes me back... to... that day I had an opinion on the phenomenon of 'Survivor.'" Again, hello again. Welcome back. By the way, I have a ton of crap I could “report on” in my own life which I haven’t done in full… yet.

And I think the approach here will be different. For one thing, no stupid links to what everybody's linking to. Probably less angrier than before. And...I...I just put this up without so much as a peep. Have you been checking on me every night or something? :) Tom: Well, hey, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
