is the end near again?

so here we are, dear friends far away, dear internet fan club, dear screaming millions, and anyone else who cares now or ever... the people closest to me in life don't, as usual, but i will continue doing what i do (helping and hoping enlightenment and awareness finds them before i die)... and the title refers to this blog which may be reaching for some sort of pausality, or end, that is... not that blogs ever really end, but as we've seen with previous blogs there does come a time when the life experiences or subject matter or something takes the blog to a new place that asks for a new blog... perhaps the exposure of the personal conflicts and potentially embarrassing details at home might be that thing... sometimes the new beginnings are a renewed attempt to wash something (or someone) out of my hair and send myself on a more positive path after the human interference muddies the waters too much, or something like that... yes, this is (e)thereal, but are we getting too real, too personal, too uncreatively unfun?...

the purpose of writing for me is manyfold... and there are many dozens of blogs and hundred of books before the internet, each with a specific rhyme or reason, a purpose for being started and few, if any, ever concluded... this (e)thereal blog is the most recent of the dailies, those blogs that simply exist so i have a place to come to write when words bubble out of the brain, and with each incarnation of these dailies, the closer we have come to the actual daily life lived offline... and with each incarnation, the rambling babbling nonsensical fun of free association was reduced, kind of like a shrunken head, perhaps, or a dryer sheet after too many uses... metaphors aside, the real life lived offline slowly found it's way through the layers of respect for privacy and fear of rejection and concerns about judgments and damage to relationships or opportunities offline... and this past week, or weekend, even, these daily life blogs have crossed into the personal as much as ever i think (as if i recall every entry, right?)... and that brings me to wonder if it is time to start again on a new level of openness and sharing...

and once again, i wonder who will notice... and who will follow... and whatever... and narf, don't forget the narf...

narf :)
