So I just went through and cleaned house. Deleted 11 old entries -- Scratch that, it was 13 -- And it felt good.

Why? Because I just plain didn't like them. They didn't fit me (or rather who I wish to be) anymore.

Ever look around your house and wish you could redo a room? Change the curtains, make the walls a brighter color, add some decorations you'll never be able to afford? That's the great thing about the internet, you can do that. Don't like the way your blog looks? Don't like the way your entries convey a sense of despair? Well, with one click of a button kids it can all be gone. Switch it around to make it what you want it. Right now. In real time. Try doing that with your room in real life. Not going to happen.

I may not be able to be what or who I want to be in real life. But here on the internet, behind my screen, tapping away at these keys... I can be whomever I wish to be. It's really just that simple.

And who knows, perhaps experimenting with who I want to be here will spill over into the real world. Then again, maybe it won't. Real is just a matter of perception. I didn't say that. Peter on Fringe did. Whomever said it, it's true. And I leave you with that folks. Life is clearly complex...
