Life Evolves. The Redux.

September 18th, 2007 by Franky · 6 Made Me Smarter // Permalink

Today I exactly have this email address, typo wanted, since two years. I just downloaded everything in Thunderbird, just to make sure archives aren’t lost by the Imperator GOOG. Today also is the day I could say I’ve been working for this company since two years, but there have been several breaks, and we still can’t reach a compromise about whether I should leave, or just take (again) a pay rise.

In that time, in my personal email I kept 11649 received and sent messages, excluded the ones of three persons I have deleted12.

Google Reader TrendsI took a much deserved and even more needed break from blogging, diving in to both PHP and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Also my feed reading has been rather limited lately, but last three days I have been preparing my return to the double job life3.
Preparing to return to the corporate double life and blogging obviously means fucking feeds! The result has been eternalized in a rather all explaining frigging graph4. I only have as many items in my feed reader anymore as I read last 72 hours.

It’s also almost two years ago I started blogging, and no I won’t celebrate it. But here’s a small excerpt of my (written) English two years ago.

I am just a boring bloke who thinks being an intresting and cool lad, always funny and full of great ideas. But the truth is totally different, I am just a boring guy, who’s always on the run and fleeing from life, from myself. Occasionally it might happen to me to have great social and political ideas. I sometimes even have competitive commercial ideas, but will hardly never try to do something with them, except after a will think and moan about me having not tried.

Ugh. Fucking truth to be said, I edited those early entries after around 3 months and it still sucked.
Those two years have been a rather fun ride, a great roller coaster, with awesome falls. If at least it were a roller coaster ride, it would have been an awesome one!

I honestly don’t know where those two years have gone, what has happened, but they surely changed me. Better or worse, The jury’s still out on whether I messed up those years or not.
Being the sole and only judge, I still haven’t decided yet if I really want to continue personal blogging or not. I discovered other people have smarter things to say. I also remember I tried the dating thing for a while, both e- and IRL. Again, the jury’s still out on whether I messed up or not5.
I must admit there’s one person I’d love to pick up (and semi intensify) contact again. As friends, best friends maybe, hopefully, one day.

Thing is, tomorrow I return to work, and last 2 years have brought some opportunities. Both on corporate level as online. I’m not sure which one I will chose for, but tomorrow is a new start and I’ll surely pursue one. Probably also life.
Obviously a new start goes hand in hand with a new domain, Serial Recidivism and this site6 will be moved over there within the next hours78.

I would conclude with an overview of my preferred entries from last 2 years, domain wide, but there’s one series which, for me, tops everything and that’s the Mini-Bio, which might get extended some day or not.

That’s it, I’ve been boring enough today. Tomorrow is another day. :)

  1. Estimated 4000-5000 []
  2. One person advised me to deleted the ones of another person, so when time came and fucking life evolved, I did the same to hers []
  3. No one knows how long I’ll continue both and no matter how long I continue the corporate shit, I’ll have the contractual option to leave at any time []
  4. Trend lines are 300, 600 and 900. Someone would have asked anyway []
  5. All in all I’m glad about the outcome, although I must admit it was funny to meet the VP of HR on a dating site, and admitted she’s a hot and very intelligent woman. We spent a lovely time together, but fought way too often at work []
  6. Minus some entries, plus some of my favorite AIFN entries []
  7. As soon as my ISP updates DNS, I’m too lazy to change my host file []
  8. No worries, I know Kung-Fu and everything is supposed to go smoothly, without anyone noticing. Hopefully not your feed reader either, and if… sorry for the spam [Not that much either, but netiquette requires the statement] []

    Damn, now I have to change the feed reader. :P More than 11,000 emails? sent and received? Holy shit! That’s a lot of emails LOL I go through mine and clean em out every month or so. Just so I can avoid that.

    You’ll make the decision that is right for you. Just take your time making that decision and don’t let any of us convince you to make the decision sooner than you are ready too. Hopefully that made sense :) Going to go change the feed reader now.

    Ahhhh, my goal of making you blush has been realized.

    Did you get your other tattoo yet?!?!? Or the other one finished off?

    Shit, I just remembered you emailed me about this and I’m an ass and never responded. Sorry!
