taintme.com began as an anonymous venting ground for me , circa 1999/2000- as i was quitting smoking and needed an outlet for my horrible thoughts- circa 1999/2000-

DISCLAIMER: i am about to do ‘back when i started blogging” thing..but its not meant to be a condescending or territorial..just observatory and speculative

Back then-blogging was really trully small and sorta secretive loser-ish community. i didnt know one single other person (in the flesh, that is; i knew online people)-who wrote online or had ‘blogs’…But now:its a totally different ‘thing’ , this blogging is. Lots and lots of people i know and am related to even, write online.. i wonder sometimes, what the hell i could have done with mine – had i had foresight or motivation.. oh well. i love it still. the outlet is irreplaceable and over time taintme has become my secret soapbox, private journal, crush keeper, gossip outlet and theraputic-confidant. its the most consistant ritual ive had in in my adult life. this ..blog thing taintme. a few interesting facts:

    this blog has caused me:

  • - total embarrasment,
  • - to lose friendships,
  • - to get a date, ( 1…and it sucked)
  • - to get closer to family members,
  • - to establish some awesome friendships ….
