Livejournal has been great. Can you believe how much we've learned about each other's lives from a simple little blog post? Random people coming up to me like, "Hey, how was your trip to Hawaii?" or, "Sorry to hear about your unemployment situation bro..." For quiet-types like myself, it allows folks to get a glimpse of my world in a way that suits my personality. And it also challenged me to actually share more of myself both in print and in person. And the community we've built on this thing? I think that's had the most value to me. It's like APIA Spoken Word Summit all year long!
I think Jojo was the first to introduce me to LJ. My first entry went something like:

I'm gonna miss all the threaded comments I got on LJ:
the colonization of hip hop - 12/3/03 Or if I'll feel the same kind of love from my own personal reflections:
art for art's sake - 10/15/04 MAN... just looking at my old posts got me hella thinking back to all the shit I been through these last 5 years!!! Whew!
