Almost forgot to mention

This is nothing more than a personal (b)log, the specific purpose of which is now, and with luck always, undefined and almost certainly inconsequential to all but me (myself? I'll never understand the mechanics or the purpose of this distinction).

I usually begin things like this with a promise to MeSelf (I'm going to stick with this compromise. Seek the middle way, isn't that what the daoists say?) or some other self (Come to think of it, 'myself' is a bit redundant, isn't it? Actually, there's 'yourself', which is the same as 'you'. So I guess myself and yourself are not redundant so much as 'self' is superfluous in these usages) to update regularly. But I am older now (why in the name of Ra are you not supposed to start sentences with conjunctions? Doing so makes as much sense as, I'm assured by very smart people, particle physics does). With age and experience I have become wiser and more jaded. I know I am unlikely to follow through on such a promise, that I will feel guilty for having broken it, and that ironically I am even less likely to accomplish the thing once promised.

To sum, not only should what I write be of no interest to anybody reading, but even if one is inexplicably drawn to it (perhaps keen on my rather amorphous, oft rambling, succinct and insincere style of prose [or poetry, who knows; recall, the purpose of this blog is undefined {though of course cruel fate and my own weak will might yet cast this blog in a purposeful role. To declare it necessarily aimless would be too much definition for my comfort}]), the sporacity (Like The Poet, I recklessly invent words where I percieve a need, and offer no apologies) of updates should ensure nobody's attention is held for too long.

If anyone labored through this post to read this final thought, god help them. If they skipped straight to the end as so many do, shame on them. It's an affront me as an artist. To waste all this thought, and time carefully contemplating and endlessly putting to pen (well, obviously I'm not penning this, but I think the saying holds up reasonably well even in this digital age) revisions, to guide the reader and to ensure...

Whoa, lost my train of thought there. No matter!
