well I guess this is the end of hiatus. I'm back in Austin now.
without anything to structure my time I've been getting essentially nothing done. I haven't been writing or applying for school or whatever the hell else I'm supposed to be doing. but that's cool, transitional periods and all.
I'm going to stick to more of a cursory reintroduction for now, as I'm still digesting every topic I was considering writing about. I haven't decided what I need for this month. I think I'll lay off that until August or so, since it will take me those 10 days (most likely) to regenerate that kind of normalcy I used to have here.
So to recap: this blog is about honesty. about telling the truth. it's not about the objective truth or the hidden truth, not necessarily, but usually the obvious truth that people attempt to obscure from themselves or from each other. We'll wipe away polite lies, lies of omission, and lies of generalization. It will create problems, of course. What else? I don't know.
expect the tags truth, half-truth, belief, and blind belief to show up often. half-truth indicates, usually, that I'm phoning it in, that I didn't take the time to prepare anything to say. Obviously updating daily I have to do this sometimes, I can't help it. belief is anything I believe to be true, that is, a subjective truth. blind belief is something I believe to be true despite objective proof that it isn't. This is kind of rare.
my lappy's internet is sporadic right now, but I'm sure we can overcome. Ideally I can get a new one. and a driver's license. and a car. and a place to live. and a better job. and about 100 college credits. and whatever else I need or think I need. I even kind of need a new bike, I've discovered. Shit. I miss having my own room.
