I’ve decided that having a blog is kinda like having a pen pal, in that you start off your relationship with promise and zeal only to have it later degrade and waste away into nothing as the weeks, months, or years pass. I used to have a pretty awesome blog before I deleted it. I also used to have a pretty awesome Scottish pen pal before I lost touch with him. I even had one regular (What’s up Sunnyvale, CA?) whom never commented on my shout outs, despite my fevered hopes. Occasionally I try to find my old pen pal on Facebook, even though I know he’d never conform to such a lame concept.
I wish I hadn’t deleted part of the content because I had some pretty funny articles about obscure historical figures in which I invented 75% of their history. At that point in my life, I was listening to a lot of Sufjan Stevens so my writing and ideas where fairly grandiose and out there. Granted, I wrote those articles five years and two computers ago, which means I don’t have a saved copy or really remember the content. In truth, they probably read like Updike where you could easily see what a pretentious ass I am, and how easily pleased I am with my own cleverness.
