Walking on fire, flying through smoke

I'm not sure how many people do this, but because I am OBSESSED with myself, I often read over old posts and am frantically seized with the desire to delete everything because it all sounds and looks so ridiculous. But I don't somehow, because some people who I basically respect have told me that they like it. Soooo, here is the compromise -- I am going to be my own ombudsperson! Or rather, futureme is going to take a shit on pastme. Okay here it goes (follow along):

June 20, 2007 - This one's okay, I guess. You have to stop using people's names all of the time. What if they don't their name pasted all over the place?

November 6, 2007 - First of all, no picture. Couldn't you have at least found a funny mid-90s picture of somebody? Or maybe a hand-drawn diagram? No one aside from a select few who a) cared and b) were paying attention, care about your idiotic sartorial fixations.

January 18, 2008 - YAWN. Who do you think you are, H.L. Mencken? Some sort of "urban scribe" who broadcasts the fact that he frequents hip "divey" bars under the guise of au courant journalistic reportage? Nice try, buddy, but no. 

January 20, 2008 - People always love room pictures, it's true. But you should've taken less blurry pictures and centered the unimaginative caption. 

January 23, 2008 - Who says "underrated" anymore? How about: married people who collect Simpsons dolls and own mutliple dvd sets of entire seasons of televisions shows? The "cool" guy at your work that likes ska-punk? You should've just posted the video clip and left it at that.

January 27, 2008 - This is good, the picture is too blurry though.

January 31, 2008 - Wow, you know about a rejected Justice mix? What are some other cool things you can hypertextmessage me to? Different digital mixes by other groups?

That feels better. In the spirit of humiliation I offer this, for your dissection
