I shall join the chorus and echo the gladness that the-dot is back. It reminds me of a time when we were all enthusiastically cutting our pretentious young teeth in what we perceived to be intelligent debate. Those days were new and exciting, and with the misleading indulgence of nostalgia they can seem like better days, but days that were a long time ago, As we grow older we don't have to grow bitter and cynical, we can become less self important and more rational, However those things are not mutually exclusive. I have grown more cynical but tried to avoid the bitter, have perhaps become more rational and definitely grown less self important. However with less self importance comes less self belief.

Perhaps I have been wanting an outlet to express myself. I feel terribly self conscious with a self obsessed facebook blog that all my friends know about because of the sheer egotistical nature of it. But a completely anonymous one that no one reads it pointless too.
It could be that the dot is an environment where I can expound some thoughts about my little slice of this world, in the knowledge that it might be read by a few. We shall see,

When we love we doubt everything, when we are loved we see nothing.
