letting it go...

In November of 2005, I moved from my old blog, to this version of my blog. I made changes. I grew. I wrote differently.

The old blog, also named [ synaptic disunion ] and started in 2002, had become an encumbrance to me. It was full of political tripe, angry talk about nothing in particular, and had, in short, become something I wasn't proud of anymore. Therefore, I made a break from it, and moved here. However, I left the old one up. There was a link to it, on the bottom right of this one.

After much thought, I've decided that I just need to let it go. It was bad. It, in fact, sucked. I looked over it today, before I destroyed it, and I'm happy I deleted it all. No longer will the internet have to endure the old rantings of an angry early thirty-something. I've changed a lot since 2002, mentally, I think.

I kept some of the rare "good" posts from that era, and may be reviving them someday soon. But for now, it's gone, and I feel lighter.

You shout in your sleep.
Perhaps the price is just too stepp.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.
You set sail across the sea of longpast thoughts and memories.
Childhood's end,
Your fantasies merge with harsh realities.
And then as the sail is hoist,
You find your eyes are growing moist.
All the fears never voiced say you have to make your final choice.
Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why?
Some are born;
Some men die beneath one infinite sky.
There'll be war, there'll be peace.
But everything one day will cease.
All the iron turned to rust;
All the proud men turned to dust.
And so all things, time will mend.
So this song will end.
