Inceptum Clausula: A.D. V NON. IVN.

Salve!

Tabula Nova: Lit. New Writing Tablet.
Inceptum Clausula: The beginning of the end.

So here I am. I'm starting a whole new blog on a whole new site. I am not new to blogging, really. I've blogged off and on for a few years now. But something has dawned on me. I never really enjoyed it. Well, maybe I did . . . it was certainly therapeutic at times, but there was always a certain negativity associated with it. And why is that?

Myspace. Or recently, Myspace and Facebook, since Facebook added "notes."

I love to write. But something about those sites restricted me. What was that? My friends. I'm sure I am not the only one here to have experienced Myspace and/or Facebook drama. Oh, it comes in many forms, that "Myface" drama. I see it all the time. Everywhere, people are acting like children over what their friend says on their blogs, or writes on somebody else's message board . . . Good grief.

I'm a person who likes to write about long blogs about interesting and/or controversial issues. However, as I am friends with a fairly diverse crowd, I can hardly express an opinion without offending someone. And alas, many of my friends are hyper-sensitive about being offended. And that's just regarding the controversial entries. Such drama also occurs with the simple things, too. You can't post a reference to an event, or a party, or anything else without somebody having issues with not being invited, or who else got invited, etc.

It's so odd, really. I never experienced high school drama back in high school. I had to go to college for that. And then, I found even more after having graduated. What's up with that??

So for a couple of years, I have found myself writing blog after blog, and then having to restrict them to a "Preferred List" to avoid drama with some people. That is to say, I wrote long blogs full of controversial themes . . . and only a few people got to see them. Pretty lame, really. So now we come to why I am here.

I wanted to be able to write again, and not have to worry about the repercussions. I don't want to have to hide my thoughts in the confines of a "Preferred List" because other friends can't handle the truth. Here, I think, I can post what ever, and can maybe express a thought or two. I will keep posting casual blogs on Myspace and so on, but, if I have something controversial or interesting to say, I'll scribe it down here.

So that's about it for now . . . a declaration of intent, as it were.

Here's to vanquishing drama!

Oh and yes, drama didn't catch up to me until college either. Nice site...looks like a good outlet with minimal drama. :)
