death comes in 3's...

that's what people say.

and if people are to believed, then ed mcmahon, farrah fawcet, and michael jackson's recent passings fit the bill.

however, i'm here to tell you that there was another death today. my friendster account. as of 5:50pm today i am no longer a registered user of friendster.

this moment, i suppose, was a long time coming. like a person with terminal cancer, the dissolution of my friendster account wasn't a question of if...it was a question of when. i mean, between facebook and twitter all my social networking needs are pretty much covered, so today i decided to do the right thing by friendster and pull the plug (i do still have a myspace account for now -- but it just got moved to hospice and has a dnr).

don't shed any tears though, because in a lion king esque circle of life development a new blog is born. that's right kids. i'm relaunching my blog (i'll pause a moment so that you may wipe the tears of joy out of your eyes).


...


so, um, yeah, welcome to my new blog. as you can see all my old blog posts have been archived (for those of you who never had the pleasure of reading them you can thank me later, but you're welcome).

basically, the urge to blog has been an itch i've wanted to scratch a lot lately, but i think on some level i just couldn't bring myself to log back into friendster to post anything new. so instead i spent the last few days transferring everything here and...voila, i'm back.

i'm not going to make you any promises about the frequency with which i'm going to post this go around, but i think it's safe to say that we'll all sleep better at night knowing i am once again a contributing member of the blogiverse.
