Here's the thing: I started this blog five years ago today, at a time when my life was completely different, and I thought I was heading in a specific direction.
Well. Things change, things fall apart. And things get rebuilt.
On this blogiversary, then, I've decided that I'm going to rebuild AliThinks. It's either that or shut it down, and I don't want to do that.
This post is just a little place- and time marker. I'm largely uncaffeinated, but I have to bust this out now for reasons I'll explain later.
Happy weekend. And Happy Easter. Or Pesach.
"We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got."
Here's to the new incarnation of your blog!

I've been going through a somewhat similar ennui with my little ramble. I am on facebook more as the real me and with being so busy in school and with still sorting out things of my dad's with mom almost every weekend-time just escapes me and prevents me writing anything profound enough to publish. I noticed your comment on Ariel's blog. It seems the ennui has hit the Left Coast as well.
Take care of yourself...

Bust it out girl. Hey, you'll have to tell David that his meme really is making it around the world.

I can't remember when I got started, but I know it was early 2002ish. I tried LiveJournal, Xjournal, and diary-x and didn't like them. Then a friend of mine opened up a hosting service and offered me webspace. I blogged with a tiny program called Thingamablog - no joke. LOL That was Feb 17,2004. I made the jump to WordPress on my own domain in January 2006.
It sure does go by fast.
Keep up your good work here.:D I never comment, but I do drop by to read. lol
