I’ve tried to start using Tumblr at least half a dozen times but the lack of comments really makes it difficult for me to get into it.  It’s the whole reason I love livejournal… threaded comments (and protected posts).  But then again, those comments also create an environment that gets set in a bit of glue.  In some cases, it can turn into a bit of an echo chamber.

Lately I’ve been feeling isolated in my online presence.  I put so much information out there, but it doesn’t help me connect with people.  I want to participate in a culture of creativity and passion and clarity of thought and emotion.

So I’m going to try this, and the lack of comments may be freeing.  Maybe it’ll feel more like a personal journal.  I have a lot of stuff in my head that doesn’t get said primarily because I’m afraid of the comments or the response it’ll create.

Okay.

Brunch with Asa, Carinna, and Megan was good.  The walk home was good.  Kellianne coming home right now is good.  The BBQ we’re going to is going to be good.  Friends are good.  This is good.
