There's always something depressing about an abandoned site gathering dust in a corner of the web. Apropos of nothing of course.
Anyway... it's been a while. Always seems the fate of these things to go by the wayside. Seems about time for a spring cleaning, it's the season for it after all. Once or twice a week i'll think about writing a post, but it never gets beyond a half-baked idea and a few lines. Always written in the early hours of the morning, full of angst and zeal. They seldom hold up the next day in the cold light of diminished passion and more rational thinking. The morning critic never seems to have anything of his own to write though... lazy pretentious bastard. I can't complain too much though; I find passion is piercing enough to get through even in the face of an extreme lack of literary ability, and lack of literary ability is one thing I have in spades.
Looking back, my main complaint about the stuff I write is how whiny and self-aggrandising it can look in retrospect. While far from a perfectionist it's enough of a bugbear to stop me from putting anything up. Hopefully that disgust will dull with time and practice.
In the coming few days/weeks i'll try to find and some of the scraps and get them up on the site. I think it'll feel better to have various rants up, cringeworthy as they may be, compared to the typical "welcome to my site" post followed by years of silence. At least i'll be doing something.
