# 2 - Nothing New

nothing is new except for the year.
when i opened this blog i thought i'd write everyday. i intend to, i thought - so many people keep diaries. so many people have so many things to say every day, i must be able to do that too. i mean, i have so many thoughts all the time, but they're always so temporary, it's like floods in the desert - they come out of no where, wash through me and move on, i never think them again. i keep having other thoughts, but never the same ones. now i wonder if keeping a diary is a good idea at all. in high school we were taught that dreams are not supposed to be remembered in the morning as a result of a defense mechanism of the body that allows you deal with difficult emotions and keep safe from them at the same time. maybe thoughts flushing right through me is a good thing and trying to freeze them in some server somewhere is a bad idea. i'm gonna try.
