Long live the longer term, thought out, interesting blog! Well, really short blogs with “here’s this neat site I saw” are pretty pointless anyways.

I am able to see who I was long ago, and reflect on who I am now, and know that in the constantly changing lifestyle choices and circumstances, I am wholly me. It is my source of identity. The fact that blogs seem dead is no surprise to me, but I feel now more than ever that the world of blogging is being sifted through, leaving behind a remnant, a more refined generation of those true to blogging form. The socialites and entertainers have found their niche through Facebook and Myspace, while those who have yearned for a conduit of pure and unadulterated expression abide in this humble "e-abode."
