Whatever I do, I can't be without you

Here I am, back again. The blog, meanwhile, hasn't grown any fungi or mould. Thanks to the good folks at blogger.
Keeping a personal blog is very different from collaborative blogging. I had a go at the latter through The Cult o' SAOS, but that did not pick up much pace. Firstly, I was the only one putting up content - and quite slow at that too. Random content publishing, as it turned out, was more exacting to keeping a dedicated journal, for it lacks any inherent structure or pattern. Mixing up admiration, polemic and sacrilege made it look wasteful - we weren't exactly aiming for something like boingboing, y'know. Moreover, personal opinion doesn't seem to fit well with the "cool" factor that any collaborative space generates - until the "cool" factor is about those very personal opinions.

I come back here for the reason of personal expression. No restrictions on content, no forethought on whether it matches the mood or not, no guilt attached. The other blog shall go on, but I'll keep some brain cycles for this as well.

Hello, again.
