i had a choice. i chose rejoice.

I just spent the last three hours deleting each of my LiveJournal entries. There were 300+ entries dating back to 2002. I was 18 in 2002. That's a long time ago.

Of course, I absolutely did not plan to do anything of the sort today. In fact, there are countless ways I could have better spent my time. I am not quite sure how I came to even remember that I had an LJ that needed censoring nor do I have a clue as to why I felt it necessary to censor the missives an 18-year old "romantic." Alas, the exercise complete I leave this final message for those who may still have me on their "friends" list.

I do exist, just not on LJ anymore. Feel free to email me if you'd like to get in touch. jason dot spidle at gmail dot com. I am panoptican on Twitter. I write regularly in many locations.

• Ontological Damnation - long(ish) form creative writing also syndicated to LJ for your convenience


• such loud noise - an MP3 story blog better explained elsewhere


• IEB - internet meanderings and found photography with POETRY


• Relentless Tech - a sort of technology blog that is still in the infant stage of development but will eventually be an "edgier" Lifehacker or something

such loud noise, IEB and Relentless Tech are all not syndicated to LJ but if you have a paid account, you can add those feeds to LJ at the bottom of the syndication page. Beyond those internet destinations, I will endeavour to publish some of my fine writings at some point. Updates concerning my life and such will eventually appear at the base URL of panoptican.org. That is all.

It is very likely this message will be heard by no one. Whatever the case, LJ was swell, once upon a time.
