Hammer a Nail....
I suppose that, really, it makes sense to update this mockery of a journal for the benefit of any in this vast, strange and perplexing internet who might wonder about my whereabouts and why I seem to have vanished. I suppose that it ought to be comforting that there actually might be someone out there who would really miss me, but now, after so long, the thought itself seems odd. I'm sure that you're all better off without me, dear readers, as I'm not here to take up your time with mindless banter. I suppose that one could credit me with making something of a ripple on the face of internet communities, but all I've ever tried to do was be good to people, to help them out, be nice to them, and it seems as if, in a world (both online and off) where nice people are hard to come by, the presense of just one person with an attitude of this nature amounts to a very effective thing. PO is lucky enough to have several of these people frequenting their boards, people who also feel a great affinity to those they touch and a great loyalty as well. These are qualities rarely found, and that is why, in the end, PO is such a great place. It's the people who have remained loyal and stuck around for the majority of PO's life that are the true treasure of such a site. Obviously there will also always be those who will remain out of spite, those who take pleasure at putting others down, in being mean and petty, who stay because they like to have stationary targets, but at PO, for some reason, most of these people seem to get phased out over a matter of time, perhaps because of the strength of those same wonderful people who are kind to all, does not permit others to be mean and crude. The alliance of all these traits in any one person is a very rare thing indeed, and I wonder as to how it all came about that PO should have such luck to gain not just one, but a handful of these people to bring in others, to care and nuture those who wander by and decide to take a chance on a small web-community. Do I miss PO? It's a strange question. On the one hand, yes, I do. I miss it like I would miss an arm, or a leg, something irreplaceable. On the other hand it seems almost like another life to me. It seems so very long ago that I was on PO, that I was one of those constant fixtures who everyone knew (even if they didn't all like me). My life has changed so much. I'm moving to a new school next year. I have a girlfriend so wonderful that I consider the question of marriage. I'm focusing on music, my chosen career, and I feel like I've finally achieved something of a foothold. Life is busy, but highly enjoyable, and there is no PO in it. What does this mean?
I'm not sure.
Maybe PO is simply the past now... I can't say for certain. What I can say for certain is this: I miss those people, those PO people who made life that much more comforting. I may not NEED that comfort any more, but I miss seeing their names and their words, their personalities shinning through each sentance. I hope they are all alright and doing as wonderfuly and happily as I am.
