A new beginning

Hello blogging world.

I'm reviving my blog after a long period of hiatus. Starting on a clean slate so all old entries are gone. They probably aren't going to be gone forever, maybe I have decided to save them somewhere... Maybe they're just etched in my mind. Either way, I am starting anew! Afresh!

One may wonder why I am still sticking to blogging after all the enticing new media such as twitter, tumblr or even fb statuses have come up over the years. I do have an account with ALL of them. However, facebook feels too public whereas twitter is limited to 140 characters. And when you want to post more, you have to split it up or use twitlonger which defeats the purpose of twitting imho. So I am not a twitter person though I twit very occasionally and my twitter account is locked for obvious reasons. And tumblr, well, let's just say that I prefer to use words than pictures to represent how I feel and what I do.

And if you see how much I manage to write just to explain one point - why I blog instead of using twitter, fb or tumblr - you will definitely understand why I dig blogging.

As to why I decide to start anew today, someone on fb made me reminisce about my superior blogging days when as a juvenile I used to write so much and it sorta makes me miss that part of my life a lot. I went back to read my past entries (dated 2007 and earlier) and I wonder how the heck did I manage to write so much rubbish yet sound a little entertaining then? So here am I trying to reignite the passion I used to have so much for - writing - and probably find myself back in those carefree juvenile days. Age increases no matter what, but what's more important is that the inside stays young - and I am using this blog to relive what I did in my younger days, sans the vulgarities of course.

One last point about the "you" in this entry, one will probably wonder who will read my non-existent blog after so long. I actually told a few people that I am starting to blog again today. So if you have read this after I told you to: Hello! Gimme a shoutout!
