transit in blogspace

well, to start off the first entry in my blog in 8 months and the first one in 2008 with something great, awe-inspiring, shocking or thought-provoking would be exactly what is expected by the reader (if any), just like what most other blogwriters do after a long hiatus to regain some sort of lost readership. but nothing of that nature shall be noted in this first entry. how many first attempts or first experiences outshine the second? no matter how memorable first events are like the first steps of a baby, first steps taken on the moon, first words of a child, first public performance by a singer, first discovery of some novel protein (most nobel prize winners sad to say are not the first who make the discovery), first kisses given or received, they are often only remembered by the person experiencing it. and to the rest of the world who care only about their own "firsts", don't give two hoots about another's firsts. though what follows after the first is often greater and improved over the former, still we bother about the first with greater attachment to the memory, place it on some pedestal and cherish it with undying feelings. probably thats why we are humans.
