Up close and personal

Maybe even a bit too personal.


Looking back at a lot of what I’ve written on here, most of it seems to be about stuff. Not that that’s bad or anything, but it’s a bit impersonal. Sure, it’s a look at where I’ve been, what I’ve seen and stuff I’ve done, but it’s not really about me.

And that’s okay, for the most part. I never intended for this to be some sort of a diary. But lately I’ve been wanting to take things in a slightly different direction.

So that’s what I’m going to do.

Yeah, the weird bits about Japan and stuff like that will still be here, and new ones will show up too. But a lot of the entries will reflect the moods I’m in and what’s going on in my head.

Self-indulgent?

Of course! It’s a blog, for fuck’s sake. Is there anything more self-indulgent than writing about your life and posting it online, as though the rest of the world actually cares?

Not that I can think of.

Now, this isn’t going to become some sort of “whine-a-day” list or anything like that. By and large, the site won’t seem all that different. You’ll probably see the occasional entry that contains more information about me than you ever thought you’d need, but I guess that’s a risk one takes when reading blogs. So keep reading (if you want to), but let this post serve as your warning:

Things might get a bit weird around here.
