i had a really good thought.

that's how most of these start anyway, with a thought, or something like that, after which i proceed to veer ferociously off topic and write something usually with relevance only to myself and even more frequently of negligible quality. this practice started a year ago.

it started in this form a year ago, july 28, 2003. a year ago i appropriated this lil corner of the web and proceeded to hold forth on stuff, well, nothing in paritcular i don't guess. i'm not sure what i think about all that, i think this is the longest i've ever kept something up that wasn't on some level extrinsically compulsory and i'm both surprised and glad that i've kept it up.

i like writing, i really do, in fact, i started this whole thing because i missed that i wasn't writing regularly like i was when i was in school. if nothing else the whole thing's kept me in practice, mostly because i get the feeling that writing is gonna play a pretty big part in my life, even if it's in an as yet undefined way. and then mostly i'm like anybody else, i get tickled reading stuff i've written.

but i digress.
