As you can probably see, this blog has been active for over three years, and I haven't used it in almost two. So why resurrect it?
For a few months now, I wanted to start writing more in my free time about non-music and culture-related things. It's what I've been doing for years and what I chose as a career. But as someone who has tried every popular blogging platform since the age of 13, I feel a little empty without a place to rest my head.
But I think I'm mostly hesitant when I think about my journey as an adult blogger.
You see, I've gone from blogging regularly to "blogging" regularly (see: tumblr). When I started Ocean of Noise in 2009, it was a way to start working towards my career instead of focusing on a bad breakup. By the time I moved it to Wordpress (where it remains up and running), I was starting to work as a freelance writer and beginning to question how I wanted to conduct my career.
Now, a year after I've graduated college, the only thing I've accomplished is to successfully fall into the category of post-grads that are unable to pay their bills. Go me.
This Cryptomnesia will be a recount of events that happen to me. I'm not sure how forthcoming I will be in my writing, but I will promise that despite whatever musings and photography I share with you, this blog will represent me and the things I do every day.
Really, I'm just trying to find a place where I belong, even if that place is floating around in the digital ash of the internet.
Within the next few days, I'll find time to redo the layout and make myself a banner. Until then, please excuse the mess as I clean up shop. And as always, thank you for coming by; I hope to see you again.
