It's an excuse
Over a year ago I promised myself to go back to diary-ing -- at least through online blog. I was so busy forgetting about that promise that politician-wannabees ought to learn a thing or two from me. But let's not talk about them. They already hog more than enough media space as it is.
What I want to talk about is my efforts to really add life to this journal thing. I'm not sure if anyone really reads it, but in 13+ years time I'd want to look back at dwarf proofs that could back my insanity... So I'm back now... With changes to the blog!
Don't you just love the shades here now? My blonde bald pal did it for me. Such a nice guy. Check out his green site and see why I asked him to do it for me (of course that's aside from the facts that 11 years of Internet use haven't really improved my HTML-watchamacallit know-how and that I like using my friends). It's not much, but at least it's something new. He even made that P-with-a-devil's-tail logo for the blog. He's cool. Now I owe him lunch and more friend bashing and nagging. Ah, 'tis the life.
Also -- and I'm sooo glad to have finally done it -- my links corner have been "authenticated" and you can now visit actual sites through them. For now they're mostly blogs of people I know... once I become an Internet geek maybe I'll add more.
Yet to date, the most important thing I've ever added to this blog, are links to my FRIENDS' Friendster pages. It may be silly and even too trying-hard, but I don't care. Next to hair conditioner, blood and pennies, they're the most important part of my life. I've listed 16 of them because it's my ex-best friend's favorite # -- he got sucked into a bloody blackhole about 9 years ago. There's really no "perfect" friendship with any of them but fi there's one thing I'm sure of, it's my bond with these people. Several of them are strange, while most of the are plainly crazy. They're fabulous. And a fabulous excuse is always better than too much white space.
