I’ve added a new feature if you want to call it that even to the site. I’ve started including a “personal comments” or such to certain entries. Personal entries obviously are already personal. However, when I post songs or quotes or some other items, I don’t always give a reason for the posting. I never felt it proper to post something in the same word as someones song lyrics. I give the artist credit where credit is due and leave it at that. But as you can see with “I Hope You Dance”, the new thoughts are there. Obviously a part of the entry yet seperate from the post. I’m going to go back through the archives over time and add my thoughts on other entries. I’ll eventually create a page with nothing but these thoughts so that they can be read and then linked to the individual entries page.

I’m slowly developing my identity online. I’m still coming out so to speak although I’ve been out for over 7 years now. It’s hard to change the past and I’ve always treated my website with such a guarded eye. Once I started referencing my homosexuality through my online presence, all concrete ties to who was the behind the site disappeared. Now I’m back in a way and I’m living life again.

I keep telling myself I’m going to work on a “100 Things” list and post that so that you can get an insight into the life of the Poet (who also goes by Robert but I think I’ve signed some post that way already).
