Walking around in my new shoes

| No Comments

green converseAt the tender age of fourteen, I broke up with my first serious boyfriend (the first time). While nursing a broken heart, I was kept company by my friend Kevin who lived down the street. One afternoon, Kevin kissed me, and I was really conflicted.

I tried explaining it to a friend, saying it was like giving up your favorite pair of shoes - the ones you've worn in so the cushioning cradles your feet exactly, the laces are fixed into your grooves, the treads are worn so thin your ankles start hurting... I realized it was time to give up my first pair in favor of something new, and I was willing to adjust. But the tongue felt a little funny. And I wasn't really sure how to walk around in my new shoes just yet.

I've started this new blog with a touch of trepidation. I'm still getting used to the feel of things, and I can't say it's all perfect. Yet these shoes feel good, if a bit awkward. Only thing to do is run, right?

So I'm going to list some plans I'm excited about:

  • implementing a photo of the day, perhaps in place of my photoblog
  • illustrating posts with photos
  • designing custom graphics and altering the text & design elements to my own taste
  • categorized entries & organized, focused content
  • hosting videos, animations, and occasional mp3s
  • project pages with instructions, source materials, and resources
  • no more flashing or talking ads!!!

Yeah, these are good shoes. I'm gonna like it here.
