so, this is life

I have been long wondering what makes one start a blog. Now that my Facebook account is no longer in use, i feel i am lacking a web-based platform of self-expression. It is true that i have been feeling a sense of freedom since i quit it, -- more time to work during work hours, less "ding"s on my iphone, less distractions from my real life that i am living. But, Facebook's "year in review" app showed me that it is nice to have a summary of a year's themes and feelings. It is nice to re-visit all the little moments that made you smile that were, perhaps, not significant enough to remain on the forefront of your memory. Diaries are so passe, but perhaps an on-line notebook is ok? Let's try that.
