Revival

I'm hereby reviving my blog here on blogspot. It's about damn time too, as I've been craving an outlet that isn't as obscure as LiveJournal. I'm not giving up on LJ simply because nobody seems to be using it. On the contrary, one of my favorite blogs is up there: HopStopTravel.com. Read it, it's completely inspiring. I just feel like refreshing my environment, classing it up a bit--not that LJ is classless. Are blogs ever labeled as such? It's true I did originally move over to blogspot to provide a home for more high-brow endeavors. I'd just rather not juggle the two. I'm condensing, economizing, simplifying, etc. Plus, this is way more fun to play around with...

I've taken on the ambitious task of transferring all my previous LJ posts here and postdating them, because I think it's interesting to see the progression. Unfortunately, some of them have really good comments attached to them and I don't think I am able to add the comments. So if you see a post you like, maybe refer back to the original LJ post for some wonderful commentary.

This reminds me of the day I wrote my first entry, back in January 2006. It was just before I left for Australia. It's interesting how new everything was to me, how exciting. I created it as a way for my friends and family to keep track of me while abroad and it morphed into this time capsule, a way for me to keep track of me and my metamorphosis from a young, naive college grad to a jaded, world-weary vagabond (ha!). Well, maybe it didn't exactly go down that way, but I'm sure I have grown up in the almost three years since starting this. I've gone through a lot, but not in the sense that's particularly interesting to anybody but myself. It's all very a day in the life, as The Beatles once sung. But don't take my word for it, read for yourself.
