Getting this started

It's late, I'm tired, but yet I have a feeling that I need to do...something.

Not sure what, exactly, but this is as good as anything. I've been meaning to retire the Livejournal for awhile now...it's going on four years, and with everyone moving over to that shithole website Xanga, I might as well take a step up and cast away the friends list entirely.

Now you'll have to bookmark me instead of just being lazy and checking the friends list. Why am I moving over here?

1. I'm bored with livejournal. It's had a good run, but I need something new. It's a connection to many people that I'd rather pass on having connections with.

2. As narcissistic as it sounds, this forces people to actually think, "Hey, I should go read Marcos' blog (dear god I hate that word) now." I skim over most of the entries on the friends list, only actually reading the ones that look interesting from the first sentence. I imagine many people are the same with the postings from me.

3. Like I said at first, this is my anti-xanga. Here I am, using pretty much the most detached website you can use to have one of these things. No friends list, no complex profile page, and the ability to modify all you want.

4. I also want to be able to do more without having to offend anyone. I always hate to post something political on my livejournal because I think I might offend someone's political sensibilities, however wrong they might be (yay more narcissism). Here, if you don't want to read what I have to say, then you don't. Forget all about Marcos if you like!

Anyway. That's the late night statement of purpose. Let's get this thing off the ground and then announce the transition at the end of the week.
