IT AIN"T WHY, IT JUST IS

OK. The old blog has been shut down and this one now continues in it's place. As time allows I will re-post some of the most commented on posts here just because I either received nice comments on them, because I think they might be of interest to the intended readers of this blog, or just because I want to.

I was really hoping that more time would pass between the time I made the first post here until now, but it is what it is. Given that some dumb-asses were predicting my demise 5 years ago, I am not going to get too worked up, but I can no longer ignore the weight loss, the almost constant pains, or the fact that other people have now noticed I don't look well.

This space will not be used to depress folks or detail the particulars of my health. From this point on I will use this forum to convince myself and others that I was here and I had an impact (good, bad, it doesn't matter- at least I DID things, instead of watching from the sidelines) and that I have at least made an attempt to understand and make sense of myself and the world around me.

Besides, if I wasn't spending time entering shit here I would probably just be masturbating, and we all know where that leads.
