S 🤦 Author Icon - Amerikkka cannot even own up to its violent racist colonist past/present. Don't get your hopes up. Neither Trump, most politicians nor many Americans like looking in mirrors. They are NOT the most introspective culture.
I’ll keep writing, anyway. *Sad*
My first blog "L'aura del Campo" Open in new Window. (now used for poetry) was 20 years old yesterday. This is my first extant entry: "Summer: 1 Rahmat 162 (June 24)" Open in new Window.. There are no comments.

I deleted (and saved... but who knows where...) many entries when I ran out of space. I no longer have those available. Wish I did. I was journaling every day during that time though and I've kept those notebooks. Now I blog and forget to journal. *Sad* In many ways my typical day is more boring now than when I was homeless. The constant struggle to avoid drama and guarantee a place to sleep at night was "invigorating". I was also 20 years younger.

My first blog comments came from VerySara Author Icon and Prosperous Snow celebrating Author Icon. By 2007 I was receiving 10+ comments daily. I wax nostalgic at times for the "good olde daze" of what we called "Blogville" RIP.

Here, as IRL (in-real-life), the art of communication and making connections is passé: so... pre-covid, so... old-fashioned... messy... uncomfortable... time-consuming... disease-ridden...

My present blog (in English) is found here "ในสวนของเลียม" Open in new Window.
If you are squeamish... or don't believe in s**.

Both are from 2007 when my poetic stream of vomit inspired Ye Olde WDC... 17 comments in blog entry "Poised in prayer. Albedo/libido?" Open in new Window. from June 8, 2007. I was inspired way-back-when and imho a better poet. Plus, WDC was more interactive and supportive. We bounced off each other.

Jellyfish Author Icon - I grew old here... What's important to me is that I managed to continue for so long. It's the digital storage space for things I wrote as far back as 1999. In a way, it's my legacy.
Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - It is a great place to store writings *Smile* I do the same!
Aw, sorry. I missed your anniversary. Hope it was a good one. Congrats on your tenure here.
Just another day, another list. *Meh*
