http://blog.brokenhattrick.com/2007/03/reflections-of/ The Oddly-Titled Journal of Stephen Van Doren Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:34:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 http://blog.brokenhattrick.com/2007/03/reflections-of/#comment-22 George Wed, 04 Apr 2007 15:02:04 +0000 http://www.blog.brokenhattrick.com/?p=37#comment-22 <p>A cathartic exercise, the stuff of blogging. I, too, go back to the undying (preserved probably forever in cyberspace) posts I’ve shoved out the door over the last three years. My first reaction is that many of my earliest posts were marginally articulate, but brim-full of a pretty outrageous acerbicism (I’ll make up a word!) that, now, doesn’t really embarrass me, but, rather, provides me with perspective—I’ve come a ways (at least, I hope I have) from those early rages and rants. So, too, the blogging has provided a sharing of sorts of those things that affect me deeply—the death of Sweet Melissa, for instance. Many posts on your blog, like mine, provide that, at times, unrequited and sometimes acknowledged grasp for a sharing of those heartfelt events that otherwise—if not for the blog—might remain hidden, unspoken. Thank you for your good words, Stephen.</p> A cathartic exercise, the stuff of blogging.

I’m still finding my feet as it were with this internet thang and especially blogging. I’m a rather astonished at finding that I don’t seem to have a lot to say.
I think this may be because I’m coming to terms with a new form. Time will tell.
It appears to me that your writing has evolved with your involvement in “The Web” and technubology. I have enjoyed tremendously reading some of the posts here at Broken Hat Trick. So much so that I will return.
