And so with 2008, the rebuild begins…
One thing I’ve noticed over the last twelve months or so since late 2006 is that my blogging has become vastly more sporadic and detached, almost as if it was a chore I absolutely had to do otherwise I’d be letting everyone’s expectations down. After a little while I forced myself to sit down and think about exactly why that was… was my life really that uninteresting to write about? The results I yielded from a couple of weeks of soul-searching were an ever-present realisation that it wasn’t my life at all – it was the layout I was presenting my thoughts via. newklear.org (the home of my main blog)’s design is something I was really very happy with immediately at the time – I felt like I’d accomplished making something relatively unique and suiting to me, though due to numerous failings never quite got around to doing with it what I wanted – finishing the fine details off and transforming it from something that kinda represents me, to something which undeniably defines me and carries my persona through to my web presence. Don’t get me wrong, there’s elements of it I like and most likely will reuse and build on – but it is simply no longer relevant to me.
So, what to do? Brainstorm, of course! Come up with ideas and do some soul searching for what I really want that’ll drive me to use it… and force me to want contact. Last time it was a rush job because I wanted to impress a perspective employer – and when I say “rush” I’m talking about having the concept to site completed in less than two days. Not only – it was at a time when I was somewhat awash and really didn’t know anything. That’s not something I’m about to do this time. This time, I’m angling for something more refined and perhaps closer to the more conservative person I’ve become – but, it’s gonna be a little bit off the wall.. and it’s REALLY gonna draw heavily on the visual elements I’ve gotten from my years of graffiti. Who knows, maybe it’ll even include my Flash experience in some manner… we’ll see.
Expect updates as they come. 
Lé Commentaires!
WHAT'S ALL THIS THEN?!?! No comments have been left yet! My god man, it's horrific! :(
You (Yeah, you!) can help change this frown into a grin by "dropping some knowledge on a brotha [sic]", and leaving your thoughts. Go on. It'll make you feel much better about the world around you.
Tell me something
HTML is for winners, so the common stuff is enabled for your comments. Also, for those of you familiar with Textile syntax, feel free to use it too. Yes your name and email are required, but no, they won't be shared. Don't worry, I hate spam too.
And finally, if intend to say anything filthy, please speak clearly.
