And so…
And so I begin again after having journals at several other places, I finally have something on my own domain. It wasn’t easy, and although I’d prefer that it be power by Movable Type or Greymatter, blogger it is, because, well, it was easy and free.
I cannot say for sure what road this journal will take, or what my intentions are. I suppose it’s a place for me to be honest, but not too bare. I place for me to share my writing and my life with those who are interested. I’m not sure what made me decide to start over, I just knew that I had to. It’s the same as with paper journals, one needs to get a new notebook every once and a while. Right now as I write this I can’t help but feel the pressure of the “first page”. The way it was always supposed to be so neatly written, with exciting subject matter and impeccable writing skills. That first page was supposed to draw in my audience, although in paper journals I never had one. Well, I’ll admit that in my head my journals were great sources of pleasure for future historians 
Thus, the title, Immortality by Proxy. Although in some ways I wonder if it’s a misnomer; will the electronic media be as lasting as old fashioned paper & pen? Perhaps the medium does not grant immortality, perhaps it is the simple act of writing, no matter what the form, that does it.
