The Dawning of a New Day

The long hiatus is over. Finally.

Maybe.

For those of you who are old school (Holla!) you’ll know that I kept an online journal for about eight years. It started in August of 1998 and went until about September of 2006. Though, during the last couple years of its life, it became less and less active. In the beginning, I would update very often. Daily sometimes. Then once I graduated high school and moved to New York, I got busier. I wrote less and less. By the time the site died, I was writing less than once a month. And the entries lacked any sort of thought or substance. It became more of a chore than a desire. So, I cut my losses and let my domain expire.

Do I regret that now? Maybe a little, yeah. I mean, whether it was brilliant and insightful or just a bunch of crap, it was eight years of my life. And during a time of my life that was fraught with change and personal growth. It would be nice to have some sort of written record of those years, but what’s done is done. There’s no point in dwelling on things I no longer have any control over. Though, when it came time to register a new domain, I went back and checked my old one just to see if it was available again, and it broke my heart to see it had been snatched up and was wasting away as some sort of placeholder site. Poor fella.

I raise a glass to you and remember the good times.

But now that I’ve tossed a handful of dirt onto the old website and buried it with dignity, it’s time to start fresh.

I’ve missed this whole process a little bit. That’s not to say it was a perfect marriage, me and blogging. It got me into quite a bit of trouble too. But I’m older and wiser (I hope) now, and am cautiously optimistic that this will be a pleasant experience.

The Wrong Story is back. Maybe for good. Maybe not. Maybe better than before. Maybe not.

Good lord, what have I done?!

This is ridiculous. What am I doing here?!
