welcome to the new

i've always thought of making a blog. But for 5 reasons.

1) I could never think of a nice url name thingy. To be honest, a lot of peoples blogs have really sucky names anyway and if i were to have a blog, i wanted something special. something unique and awesome. but I never found that perfect url.

2) too much commitment. If I had a blog, i'd probably feel obliged to post shit and nonsense even if I didn't have shit and nonsense to post. and i didn't want that. That probably comes from reading other people's shit and nonsense too. of course, that means when I did have actual insightful comments on the meaning of life, I had nowhere to put it on so they probably got lost in the depths of my mind. the world mourns. (who am i kidding, what insight, all i have to offer is more shit and nonsense)

3) all the options. too much thinking. wordpress or blogger? tagboard or not? what theme? really really really too much effort.

4) whats the point really? you blog to tell the world what you wouldn't otherwise be able to. but do you really want to tell the world? you spend enough time in real life trying to constantly act like how people want you to act, say what people want you to say that when you have a blog, you let it all out and say what you mean/think. but the world still sees it. and that kinda just defeated the point for me.

5) I don't have a 5th reason. see this is why i shouldnt have a blog.

but like many things in life, I want one anyway. so what this long-winded post is trying to say is:

TODAY IS THE DAY SIAPATANYA IS REVIVED.

but this isn't the old siapatanya. heck, no matter how many revives or hyper potions anyone uses on siapatanya it will never be the same again. yes, its sad but its true so time to get over it.

so, shift, whats new siapatanya all about? well, shift, its all about the power of words. the power of ideas. you can kill a man but you cant kill an idea (quote from awesome movie). so, fellow matbloods, put all ideas that you have here. ALL OF THEM. okay, maybe not all, but i think you get the point.

so post wtv you want to, say what you want to say to anyone in the world without actl having to deal with the consequences (unless its slander or some shit like that, in that case youre an idiot). Use codenames. If no one understands wtf you're talking about its okay, cos the most important thing is you do. and your words are out there. and the world is better for it.

yeah so thats all i have for now. like i said, everyone post what you want to. only one ground rule, always sign off. But difference is, you don't need to sign off as your REAL codename if you dont want to. you can sign off as anything you want (other than a real codename that already exists). you can use any colour you want. you can call yourself cockface beastmaster if you so please. all in the interest of saying what you want without the restrictions of your identity. but sign off. cos its your words.

so this might be the last time i post as shift. although i doubt it, i'm too self-indulgent for that. it wont be the last time i post though. watch out world.

shift to the wift
