Moving forward from suck

[col-sect][column]Oh man, how my blog has sucked of late. Holy H. Mother of sweet sauce, my blog has sucked. Well, specifically it’s the content itself that has been doing most of the heavy lifting of the suck; actually very happy with how one-seventh looks. And feels. But you look back and read some of what’s there, and you go, ok man, for the love of sweet great fuck, that’s bad. Ba-haaad bad. Dude, come on. Massive sigh. But you know, I’m not even going to get into exactly or inexactly why it’s been weak. I have a rough idea, but I don’t care to analyse it further in order to articulate it. I’m just going to move forward. The site just needs to get better. Right away.

And I’ll do that. But the question is how exactly to proceed forward from here, given that a lot of the articles are, you know, garbage? Won’t they weigh you down, you ask? [/column][column]How do you expect to forge ahead and press on beyond the grasp of suck with all those lame articles still hanging around, you continue to ask? Good point. It’s a design decision, isn’t it. What do you do, comb through two years of posts to delete all the previous suck, and then start fresh with a pure clean slate? Or do you just move ahead with non-suck material leaving the stuffy rubbish in place? You know you want to start fresh to unshackle yourself from the boring, stick-in-ass garbage of the past and free yourself to soar ahead with total liberation. That temptation is there. But in life are we not a function of our past? Even if we reinvent ourselves, are we not shaped by our history, be it cool or even, say, unbelievably poor? Ah. We cannot escape our past, even if it is a bunch of horrible trash. So then the answer is there, my friends: it stays.

But we still move forward.[/column][/col-sect]
