Well...five years later and, looking back on everything, I'm glad I've moved well beyond most of the nonsense that I involved myself in. It's nice having a different perspective on everything, then again perhaps being deployed to Iraq (where I currently am) is a sobering experience (unfortunately, in more ways than one...damn you General Order No. 1).

One of the main reasons I originally left was because I could not bring myself to write anymore. I realized that it lacked depth, lacked much feeling (although at that time I would have argued that statement), and all in all was too much like so many other Deviants work. I still, to this day, can not formulate the words to put together any kind of prose worth mentioning and indeed much of my former motivation is gone.

So instead, I likely focus on photography. It seems to be a decent escape from the fast paced nature of my job in the military...only problem is I need to get a better camera...

Anyhow, let's see if I can go through with this.
