[phoribo]

senescence

noun /sɪˈnes.əns/

the fact of becoming older, and therefore being in less good condition and less able to function well

I'm not at all old. I do, however, feel an ever-increasing urge to let my brain vomit all the words stuck inside my head into some screen's pale blue light. The words aren't too numerous, poignant, or meaningful, but they are loud as fuck and the noise had become uncomfortable enough that I, for the first time in my life, felt like writing a diary of sorts.

So here I am, using tumblr as a kind of pseudo-blog, a public diary, my kitchen sink. This is in many ways my first foray into social media where I actually contribute to reaching the informational critical mass.

What you can expect to read here are my meandering thoughts about both capital and lowercase life, all dressed up in my less-than-amateurish but all-the-more pretentious prose. I am not going to dub this a journey to self-discovery nor do I want to preach my unfiltered smartassery to this innocent world, but I can not promise that I won't. There is no mission statement to this blog, it is merely a voice of one calling in the wilderness.

Which is, thanks to a mistranslation, a phrase that's turned into an idiom in my native language. We say a word cried into barrens, a word with no one to hear it, redundant, unneeded. uncalled-for - which is what this blog is and isn't.
