A New Start

I did a writing blog, once, not too many years ago, in fact. I think I started wrong and lost interest, and frankly, the name was rather pretentious. So why start again, I wonder? Why not simply go back to the old site, maybe just rename it? Maybe that's a problem of mine. When I leave something for too long, it tends to become in a way, dead to me. I have incredible trouble returning to things I've left too long. It's a bad habit, but I feel this time I'm justified.

I'm not the same person I was when I started the old blog. Things have changed for me, and I've grown up some. I don't want to be seen as some pithy misanthrope, or be another one of those senselessly caustic voices that seem to fill the internet these days. That's what the old blog was. It was me pretending at being someone I'm not, someone who was bold, nasty, and narcissistic. I'm all honesty none of those things. I'm a dreary, neurotic and very self-conscious person who does care about what others have to say about him, and I've not got it in me to even kill a spider. I put them on sheets of paper and take them outside.

So I suppose, in a way, this is because Mock Johnson is dead, and good riddance, the bastard. I have no need for a pseudonym, here. Pleased to meet you, I'm Tyler Bishop DeNeumoustier. Yes, the name is very unwieldy, but I'm still proud of it. If you're wondering, it's "Deh-nuh-moo-stee-ay". Saved anyone who was so inclined to try and say it out loud a good deal of trouble, there.

What I'm doing with this blog is the same as the old. I am going to write, and with hopefully more frequency than I did on the other. That's another problem. I have trouble staying with things. I'm flighty. I can't promise that I won't drop off here, but I'm going to try to at least post once a week. We'll see if that comes through. I'm going to start off this blog with a few introductory posts on my interests, hopefully getting the thing in motion for me.

Signed,

T. Bishop DeNeumoustier
