Hmmm.

This is new for me. I used to hate blogs, and I still sort of do. But then again, I hate the internet, and I'm on that constantly, so why wouldn't this godforsaken blog be my next step? I'm hoping it doesn't become stupid, or start off stupid.

You see, the thing is, I need this blog to get off Facebook. Facebook, man. A torture device for our generation if we ever had one. Look! Look how great everyone's life is, look how much better it is than yours! Then you begin to wonder how to make your life look half as wonderful, so you upload these pictures you take of people barely having fun to begin with. The fact remains that no one's life is that particularly awesome enough for people to want to look at it. Mine included.

But I'm moving soon. I won't have a phone to text or call with, or even an address for people to write to, at least for a little while. So while I wanted to get the fuck off Facebook (at least for now), I know I have to remain active on some sort of internet platform. I once didn't call home for six weeks when I lived in Italy, and the scars of betrayal line my family's face to this day. So, in the simplest terms, I guess I'll use this thing to show I'm alive, just an ocean away.

Contrary to my current "active" lifestyle (read: numbingly boring), I used to write. A lot. But then about two years ago I just stopped and pretty much entered a Han Solo frozen in carbonite phase. Jesus, I need to write again. So I'll do that here too, I guess. Whatever. I'm just going to do what I want, albeit in the legal lines of various political bodies (i.e. American, Geneva Conventions, etc.)

If I offend you, then whatever. I'm a fairly considerate person, so if you're offended, one of two things are happening: either I'm being a prick, or you are.

On y va, I suppose.
