New!

So, this may feel a little awkward. Like, first-kiss new-driver bad-at-public-speaking awkward. After all, this is my first post on a brand new blog.

It feels kinda... naked.

I mean, up 'till this point I was blogging on MySpace. Which not only ate a great many of my posts, but also required me to continue to log into and participate in MySpace-related stuffs. It felt odd to log in just to blog in a fairly limited place (let's face it, not everyone wants to jump through MySpace hoops to access my silly blog), and not do all the other silly things like update my status or whatnot. Not like anyone I knew was still on MySpace anyway. Well, except one guy. But perhaps like me he clings to it with the vain hopes that other people still visit MySpace, as opposed to joining Facebook or Twitter or godknowswhat is out there now.

So now I have no blog history. No "Previous Posts". No archives. No nothing.

In a sense, it's freeing. A clean slate. A new beginning. A fresh start, with no potentially incriminating melodrama from back before my head cracked open and I became an adult. But on the other hand, it feels odd. I have no idea who I'm talking to. Or is it writing to? Who are you, anyway? Why are you reading my blog? And since I'm typing this out right now, I'm talking to either a future person I don't know, a future person I do know in the present (which, by the time you read this, is the past already), or I'm just talking to myself. Augh! Paradox!

It's head-scratchy time-recursive stuff. Maybe if I think about it too hard, my brain will explode like GIR's in "Bad Rubber Piggy".

So here I am, talking to a future person and myself at the same time via text, eating almond M&M's and wondering what direction this blog will take and how and why. Mostly this is for my own thoughts, I suppose, like an online diary, but at the same time, things I don't wish to share go in my ACTUAL diary. A public diary, then? Sometimes I ask questions and opinions. So perhaps it's more a forum. But no, a forum looks like something else entirely, with members and moderators and threads. No, this is simply a blog, for whatever a blog may be.

And it's mine. Bwahahaha. All shiny and new.

Maybe it's not so awkward after all.
