hello cruel cruel world!

So it’s been more than a year since ive stopped maintaining the pride and joy of my life: my previous blog, which has been active for like years and choked with entries from my silly “a” level hey-days, my tormented national service self and my last graduate trip to the USA.

“Why a new blog?”, then? For the pass few months i’ve been jerking, slacking, hand-packing cigarettes and lying like a euro gangsta chav rapper. As always still, in the midst of those walks to buy late night yeo’s drinks at the dispenser nearby (always clears my mind), a sure epiphany struck me with a self fulfilling biblical proportion: I should start writing again.

I dont need angels to visit me in dreams, or have a person about visions or psychic permonitions to tell me how much writing or just thinking in grammatics and thesaurus that just gets me so off. It’s kind of like, marking the numbers on the speedometer on your own car, before or after a drive. When you start driving you are judging how fast you’ve flung yourself eating road, apart from that, you have your own fucked up hand drawn speedometer to help along the way.

This blog’s going to be more or less the same shit again, im going to update it on a daily basis and just word vomit. Well, the difference is that there’s this wordpress option to “tag” certain entries, in topic and all. So for potential readers of my shameless verbal exhibitionism, you’ll be able to tell what you’re looking out for when you read this. Another new fantastic option, are photos. Looks like i can now apply images to entries and all.

Am i so speaking like a n00b? No, the fact is that since then when i started my blog, kids and other online info-capitalists have actually taken blogging really seriously. Just look at the advertisments, especially this one with the tagline “how do you want to remembered?” and you got shots of grad pictures, a sash for prom queen ‘95, tattoos and whole load of sentimental junk. One of this shots are of a computer screen with a open browser window like this one im writing in. It’s pretty ambigious unless you’ve ever been charged with the duty to blog even on dry days.

I have to admit that yes. I pretty much remember so much of myself more when i re-read the old blog entry posts on my previous blog. Much more than the photos that i took. The deeper each second is stretched by a paragraph the more each millimetre on these photos seem dulling and as flat as ceramic toilet bowls. Im not by all means, a writerly romantic, the kind that writes all courageous and eyes at the heavens where the modern tech-pen is mightier than the tomahawk missle-sword. Moreover one who reveals more about themselves like photographs of missing people at mrt stations and fiona xie’s constant cover girl stardom (stop it guys. If you want to see her nude, she’s already overexposed!)

What a lenghty introduction. a first entry.
how memorable isn’t it?

ok, now on to customizing other parts of the site. i want to make this great. how great? as good as it was the last time around in my other blog.

here’s to more exhibitionism!
