two thousand and what?

i am revising my archives. i am okay with this. i want my blog, my entire blog, to be something i can point people at and say ‘read this’ and not feel ashamed at how horrible it is.

there’s a certain honesty in not changing things, that is simply not what i’m looking for. i don’t care if you want to read what i wrote when i was 20, what i cared about when i was 20. i was an idiot. it’s not worth your time.

mostly.

so it’s on. feel free to read all the revised posts from 2001. there’s some good stuff in there that i’d forgotten about. first appearance of shaolin soccer, some rumblings about that jedi kung-fu epic i wanted to do, my 9/11 experiences that i was prescient enough to get down on (paper) while it was fresh in my mind, and a post about how good enterprise looked from the first trailer.

only one post references the fact that this was all posted on sean.kmorg initially, and uploaded into wordpress later. that’s why i’m doing this. i’ve got 400 posts tagged simply as ‘vintage’, with broken links and no titles. i had to revise them all a little anyways, you know how it goes.

then there was this one, a long ramble about one hell of a day i had, that was painful to read now, but had enough stuff in it worth saving that i decided to completely rewrite it instead of simply deleting it. so now it’s presented for your consideration. this is who i was when i started this blog, as filtered by who i am now, seven years later.

someday, maybe this will be chapter one.
