This will be my last post at this URL. I’ve ported my blog to my URL, taoofsummer.net, where I’ll be blogging under the banner The Tao of Summer. Hope to see you there!
Welcome to my new URL and new blog name, The Tao of Summer!
I have for quite some time been pondering a blog name change, but couldn’t come up with a blog name and URL that suited me well enough to bother. All I knew was that “jaded” seemed to describe an old me, a me that was still in the infancy of being distraught over a stolen presidency, the shame of Gitmo, and an Guiness and maryjane induced numbness that I’ve since knocked. I’ve stopped with the self medication, and I’ve long since knocked off on the use of the pseudonym.
Though I have not shed off all my cynicism and jadedness, I’ve certainly transitioned into a more centered and focused way of being. I think there is something to be said about how we define ourselves, and everyday seeing that I was defining myself as “jaded” seemed to be putting me into a place that no longer felt right. Then, a couple of nights ago as I was just going to sleep, this name, The Tao of Summer, popped into mind and so I ran with it. I went with .net ’cause I ain’t no commodity, and a one-woman show can’t quite be an .org. I spent some time yesterday setting up the new wordpress database and importing all my old posts and comments into this blog.
I anticipate that I’ll still be blogging about the same topics, (though maybe I can get myself out of this guarded place that I seem to communicate from)…it’ll just be under the new banner. Read the rest of this entry »
