Right now I'm mixing old and new posts on this new blog. It probably seems weird. But I really enjoy editing as well as reliving some past experiences.
Why must a blog imitate a daily newspaper? Isn't the whole idea of "news" a bit silly? Our culture is obsessed with the Latest and Greatest, whether it be fashions, slang words, pop-singer-sluts, fads, etc.
But is this a moralistic scold talking or is it an old man who has seen so many people and things come and go during his life that he just doesn't give a damn anymore? I don't want to become one of those grumpy old men who hangs out at the Golden Arches. Try talking to one of them; they don't actually want to talk with you; they just want an audience for their interminable stories about the good old days; today and tomorrow mean nothing. While waiting for a victim they kill their time reading the daily news, ironically enough.
But hopefully I'm not that bad yet. I want to think of time-agnosticism as a positive thing; as a type of independence.

You're probably right about people not wanting to listen to other people's stories. That's why the storyteller needs to keep it short. I did a pretty good job the first time around, but planning on condensing old posts even more.
