Push the Damn "Restart" Button - February 28, 2010

Wow...time to dust the cobwebs off of this thing. Not that anyone remembers it or will ever come back here, but it never hurts to have a place to write down your rants/thoughts. I tried the whole paper-diary thing, but it became to much of a pain in the ass to actually sit down and write in it. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to handwriting, so it'd take me a good hour or two just to sit down and write an entry in nice, neat print-form. So typing up whatever I happen to think about during my usual 5-10 minutes here should be that much simpler.

Just a little note to myself (and others I guess, who stumble here and happen to read through the archives pages); I make no apologies and offer up no excuses for the past....for my past. Life's about fucking people over and getting fucked over by others. Okay, so that's not the whole extent of life...or even the vast majority of it...but it happens to all of us at some time or another. You can either let it consume you, or try to consume it. My usual goal in life is to never forgive and to never forget; when someone betrays me or hurts me, those thoughts and actions will stay with me until I die. It doesn't mean I brood over the thoughts all day & night; I simply cut those people out of my life and use their memories as a learning experience for the future. It's cost me quite a few friendships throughout my life, but I've adhered to it for 27 years sofar and on the whole it's served me rather well. Might as well go through the rest of my life following what I believe in, right? Then, when I die, the rest of the world can say that they hate me, but I can feel content with my life.

But I digress. New chapter in my life, new adventures to discover, so out with the old and in with the new.
