My two favorite sayings, one which I say all the time, and the other that I think, don’t say enough and don’t certainly don’t do enough.

See you on the flip side. Several years ago I ran this here blog and we, my friends, strangers, and I, posted a ton of news, comments, articles, pictures and more. A lot of it was incredibly inane, and the majority of it was the rantings of a selfish, immature young man. Then, perhaps for the better, a hardware failure sidelined rand0m.org, and I just didn’t have the desire to rebuild it – with so many alternatives, and with life going another way, why invest? I wrote it off, and said to everyone, “See you on the flip side,” my way of saying until next time. But not just any next time, the other side of this time, because next time may be more of the same, whereas the flip side will always be new, something else. I like that there is always a flip side.

Take it slow. My sister dated a guy way back in the day, Steve Richards, who used “take it slow” as his parting line. To me, being 10 or 12, that was the coolest thing ever because Steve was the coolest thing ever. At the time, I’m sure it was some cool anti-establishment saying, and as an adult, asking someone to take it slow is not necessarily the thing to do. But I think it all the time, and I always think about how to relay what I am *really* thinking, which is to be aware, be grateful, and be kind. That’s hard to say, but it is what I mean.

So much has changed in the past decade, which may or may not end up on here. There will definitely be a lot of technology and work things, and probably a personal thing or two here and there. I like the long form here more than the 1-3 sentence cesspool of FB, so that’s what I’ll do.

Welcome back! Until See you on the flip side, and take it slow 🙂
