A Few Things

I realize I never wrote a "New Years Rant" for this year. I started writing one and realized that anything I could possibly have had to "rant" about was pretty trivial. I think this is a good thing.

It's pretty open knowledge that I don't believe in fate, but sometimes I like to label happy coincidences as such, just for the hell of it. Case in point: I've been planning on taking the proverbial wrecking ball to this website for a much needed facelift for at least a year or so now, but that project has kept getting buried under my ever growing to-do pile. The other day, Blogger helped me hurry along the process a bit by announcing that they would be discontinuing FTP support in a few months (something I've relied on since I started this thing, back in sophomore year of high school.)

If that's gibberish to you, don't worry. It basically means my pages need to go somewhere else or go away, meaning that I've got to make some drastic changes to the blog (the new layout is a byproduct of this happening, and is probably temporary.) To be honest, this announcement couldn't have come at a more appropriate time, as I've been contemplating what to do about this blog for a few months now. I don't want to eliminate it entirely, as I enjoy writing on occasion about who knows what (though I've been getting my fill of writing from CSUSM, thank you), but as far as documenting my life goes, Twitter has become a far more efficient (and entertaining) tool.

I don't know what I'm going to do yet. Probably move the files over to Blogspot, and officially put a cap on this blog when I finally graduate from college in May. In this situation, I would be able to say that I have a nice, neat documentation of my life during my formal education, starting in high school and following all the way through to my degree. After that point, who knows. My new site may or may not call for a new blog. We'll see what happens.

Lady Gaga is in this post for a reason - it's been a while since I've written, and somehow these pages have been untouched by her influence. As long as I'm following this page through to completion, I think it would be a crime not to mention her at least once. I'm guessing that my current almost overnight and spontaneous obsession with her represents some kind of weird phase I'm going through, which I'll eventually grow out of, but for the time being, I feel it's blogworthy. So lets get to posting some videos again, shall we?
