A fresh start

This isn't the first time I've tried this sort of thing. Back in the old days, before there were 'Blogs', there were on-line diaries. I had one for a while. Back when my life was interesting, five or more years or so ago. On OpenDiary.com. It was annoying since it kept crashing and I'd lose a long rambling diatribe as soon as I'd cathartically purged it from my consciousness. You just can't re-create something that cleansing. It loses something. I started writing my postings in Word and then pasting them in. Then I discovered I couldn't print my posts, to save them for myself (though most of those posts, and maybe some of these, would get me into a LOT of trouble at home with Wife). Then my life got dull again. Lots of people came into my life. Lots of people left it. One very dear person left it. She was the main impetus to me starting the OD thing in the first place. Cancer Sucks. Then I stopped posting for long stretches. Then they changed their policy that if you didn't post frequently (or, at least, more frequently than I), they were going to purge your diary. I let them, and haven't been back.

So here I am again. Back at the online diary thing again. New face. Same old shit. You may notice that a lot of my postings will be at early hours. I often have trouble sleeping, and there are several people of my acquaintance who will verify that I like to go online and write long, heartfelt, and usually quite meaningless drivel in emails. Now it can be here, without cluttering up their mailbox.
