One thing I do have occasional delusions about is that I fancy myself a self-styled archivist or historian. And also that other people besides me will one day care about it. So, the main goal of this blog is to log my thoughts, wishes, bits and pieces of my life, and all that. In 5,000 years, thanks to archive.org‘s continued survival, hyperarcheologists investigating the Early Internet will be able to find my blog and use it as a first-hand source of life way back when. Hello.

Rich or poor, good or evil, everyone dies someday. And within a few decades of that, everyone who has ever known them will also have died. For the vast majority of people, their names, personalities, pictures, wishes, and achievements all turn to dust once they are gone. One of the ways around that is to become someone famous by leaving some sort of impact upon the world. But even then, future humans will only know that person by their works or actions, all of which are merely things they produced, not the person themselves.

One of the best ways around this is to write, to interview, to take pictures, and to record, to leave a reflection of the soul. Some of the most valuable historical works of early/ancient history are diaries, writings that transcend time and allow historians to piece together what life was like many years ago. Even in this modern digital age, there are tons of websites and blogs, but most of them are focused on one small topic, and/or angled toward being a source of revenue or entertainment, rather than the purity of writing and recording for the sake of capturing and cataloguing information.
