A short history in links.
I have had other blogs in the past. I treat blogs, in general, as places to purge. I’m not trying to out news someone, or outwit or outsarcast (if sarcast was a word…and it should be.) I have always just needed to write things down as I processed moments and stored away their bits in synaptic boxes and closets. There isn’t much of my story stored here on WordPress, so I’m adding some links here to some old entries on another blog…and then I can move on from there.

Feel free once you have linked over to my old blog to read older entries if you feel inclined. I tend to be pretty transparent, and I’m sure once people read some of my entries they will wonder why I bother. Why would I put so many of my skeletons out for display? I’ve thought about this quite a bit over the years, and honestly writing is very therapeutic for me. My psyche is rather fractured from years of sexual and physical abuse as a child, and funneling these parts of myself; trying to understand their roots, forming them into stories helps me to comprehend them, myself, better. And hopefully someone will read what I have to write, find a connection, and have their own moment of clarity. Most likely, my words will ride out onto the a network web and get lost in google searches, and fade into digital horizon; not unlike the words on the pages of a forgotten diary decomposing in a landfill.
