fresh soil on clean floors

The past year has been among the worst in my life. I was writing in this blog mostly to myself so that I could have a forum for my own thought mediation. But, today I've decided to dump everything from my blog archive and start anew. I held back from writing in the public blogosphere for a while because I didn't want to infringe on the territory assumed by my ex from hell who from here forth will be known as shithead(TM). But now, I think enough time has passed that I can freely claim a place in this great mass of blogomanic informatzia.
