this is for melissa

while i was travelling in sri lanka i sometimes got the feeling that i'd like to write for people.
more than just for myself. it was the first time i actually wrote so much in a journal.
that became a major activity in my travelling days.
i got to thinking that all that happened to me during the day was so important i had to keep a written record of it otherwise it would just fall into the black hole of my irrecoverable past.
melissa convinced me to try the system that allows you, whoever you are, to read all the thoughts i feel like throwing on this site. so that my memories will be catalogued on the web which is in many ways very similar to a black hole, albeit recoverable.
