I wanted to blog about something personal today. A brief anecdote of my daily life that amused me. I debated setting up a livejournal, then I remembered that years ago I used to have a deadjournal. For those of you who don’t know, its a Goth livejournal clone. I tracked it down, read a few entries, then deleted it. I also found out I had a blog before that one… that I promptly deleted. I also found an old website I used to run… deleted.

All of this serves to remind me of what a total douche I used to be. Old me disgusts current me. Odds are good the future me will hate current me too. All of this also made me decide to NOT open a livejournal and NOT get into personal blogging. Its too easy to look back and remember what a tool you were. Some memories are better left forgotten. It also reaffirms my desire to leave this a personal work blog and not a place to blog about my personal life.

One might say, “But Rob, isn’t THIS a personal post?” to which I would explain, “While to a unwashed heathen, such as yourself, it might appear as such it is actually a comment on the status of this blog and its intended purpose.” I might also kick that person just for an exclamation point to my comment. Consider yourself kicked.
