A New Leaf

What you are reading now, dear reader, was originally started as a rant blog. It has been a place for me to bitch about the things that pissed me off. I had another blog at the time that I started this one, in another life. In it I wrote about things that were wonderful, things that were beautiful, things that made my heart sing. That seems like such a long time ago. And I won't update that one ever again, because I have moved on from that part of my life, whether I wanted to or not.

Not that things don't feel the same way now, in fact anymore they seem more so, it's just that at the time things seemed perfect, and wonderful. All the time. Now, so much more so, but in a different, less poetic way.

When I posted things that were bitchy to that blog, it began to feel wrong to me. At some point, it began to feel as though those things didn't belong in my life, or at least in the same place organizationally as the things that were wonderful. So Federal Pound me in the Ass Prison was born for me to unleash my rants to.

What I've realized since then is that those things, the things I would ranted about, those things are as intertwined with life as cancer is with breathing. As accidents are with motorcycle riding. As infidelity is with love.

And tonight I've come full circle, and I no longer think of this as my rant blog, but as my blog blog. The place where I dump out my mental shits for you, dear reader, to read. In WeB log form.

That's not to say, for sure, that life is a big pile of shit. Far from it, in fact. Life is good, I've realized, despite the fact that we shit every day. I've had this realization before, in so many ways, and maybe that's the meaning of life. To keep rediscovering the meaning of life. Whether you want to or not.

I just don't want to feel anymore when I want to write something for the Internet to read, that it has to be a rant. I want to post things that make me happy too. I want to post beauty, and wonderfulness, as well as shit, because those things are as much a part of life as shit is.

Just like herpes is a part of sex. Just like road rage is a part of driving. Just like bad salmon is a part of visiting Hong Kong.

So this blog is, I have decided tonight, where I will post anything that I want to put out there in the universe, good or bad. I will post anything that is happening to me in life. Not just the bad shits, the ones that make your legs quiver and your nose pucker. also the good ones, that slide out in seconds and feel not unlike an orgasm when they deliver.

This, dear reader, is where I will share all of myself with the world, or at least the parts of me I want to share with those few of you out there who choose to visit this small piece of the Internet.

I don't know shit. And I think that's clear by the things that I post. So I'm not going to write anymore about just shit, you're going to get it all.

So enjoy, or don't, I don't care. As I said once before, in another world, this is for me.

And it's all of me, both good and bad.
