Ok, so now that I’ve gathered a reader or three…

I’ve contacted the owners of PostSecret, and unfortunately, they said I can’t use the name for anything for legal reasons. I can understand that, since they are using it to publish books, etc. They didn’t say I couldn’t borrow the idea though! So, I guess I’m still going to work for it, since I’ve got nothing better to do with my bandwidth. The question remains, now I need a new name for it. I was thinking ShareSecrets, but that domain is taken (though blank, and expiring in April). This means I’m currently open to suggestions. I think I’m going to keep looking into the slashcode path, since if I can get it to work I’m betting it’ll work well. Or maybe learn PHP and write my own site… Yeah, right.

After the rousing success of my last post, I figured I’d continue in the same train of thought.

One of my favorite sites to visit weekly is Post Secret, where hundreds of people send in post cards containing their secrets. Some of these are posted online, for all to see. There has been no end of positive feedback about this, about how people feel the weight lifted off their shoulders at seeing their secret is no longer just theirs. I’ve wanted to send stuff in, but I fear I am not an artist by any means… So, after my last post, and thinking about how nice it would be to sometimes have a totally anonymous place to vent or share, I thought maybe an online version of Post Secret would be a nice thing to have. Then, people could post whatever they want, anonymous or not, and let the world see what’s going on. Then, they might even have the guts to send their friends or others that are involved in their lives to the site to see what’s going on. Discussions about the secrets… All sorts of things. Personally, I think it’s a fun idea. I just need the software required to run it… I was thinking of a submission system like bash.org, with a discussion system like Slashdot. I can get the code for Slashdot, but don’t know how easy it would be to configure on this server…
So yeah, just throwing the idea out. Who knows, maybe it will happen.

So here I am typing in the dark… Please pardon any spelling mistakes I’m to lazy to try and find the backspace key to try and fix. Just kinda sitting up tonight, killing time. Thought I’d try and continue my posting here. Who knows, maybe this will actually turn into a common thing!

Recently I’ve been considering letting this blog be a little more open to my personal life, and not as much just a place to find out what pointless things are happening… You know, add a bit more meat into the sauce. My concern is I am not so anonymous. I really don’t want to cause un-needed offence, and un intended might I add, to others who might be looking to see where my life is currently going… Guess that means I just find something else to talk about other than other people. But it seems there is very little more to life than interaction with other people… Well, that and gaming!

I’ve gone through a lot of life changes recently. And I don’t mean only what has changed with how I interact with other people… What’s inside of me has been changing as well. I like to think I’m growing up a bit more. Learning more about how life works, and what my part in it entails. Realizing that no matter how much I like to think I know everything, I am learning that there is so much more I have yet to figure out. Just hope I stop causing problems with other people’s lives while I do figure it out… And well, I want to try to work things out with those whom I have caused problems with. Time is an amazing thing. It never ceases to amaze me just how much it changes things. While not always for the better, it seems it is more often than not.

So, I’m thinking… I need to have a reason to have this blog, and while I intend to keep rambling about games and such, why not try for something a bit more? I know there are people out there who read this thing. At least I hope so! So, if you are reading no matter who you are, lets talk! And I mean the not matter who you are part. I really don’t care who’s reading this, and assume everyone is. Ok, I hope everyone is, makes me feel better. So, be ye friend or foe (don’t think I have any foes… Friend or “other”?) let your voice be heard. If I have offended, let me know. Tell me why. Be bold, be blunt. I want to try to work things out. If I have not offended, then heck let me know! That’d be kinda nice too, to find that I’ve not damaged my relationships with everyone in the world. If somehow I’ve even done something good, I’d not mind hearing that either. With all this, I can understand not wanting some things to be broadcast all over… Feel free to be vague, for both good or bad. Feel free to send me an e-mail, I should have an address listed on the site somewhere (if not, let me know). Oh, and for the total strangers who have stumbled across this site… Why not say something anyway? Talk about someone else, good or bad. Tell us what you want in life, what good you hope you’ve caused, or what bad you fear you have. I’ll even turn on anonymous posting for those who desire it. But I would ask that if you can you include some information about who you are.

Something tells me I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. I do that from time to time. Oh well, what’s the worst thing that can happen, no comments? I’ve already got that!

It seems the few posts I’ve had on this site have, for the most part, gone un-answered. So, I guess it’s time to lay those pressing questions to rest!

Yes, I am Kishkumen. But sadly, I don’t play World of Warcraft currently, nor am I any of the Kishkumens that you guys seem to have seen. Sorry. I played that name as a low level undead warlock for a few rounds on some server I can’t even remember any more. For the most part I played a night elf rogue named Tailyn. Sadly, I can’t even remeber which server I was on! I was in a guild of local friends called “The Unmentionables.” That’s about it, I stopped playing due to my time schedule and not having anyone on to play with when I was able to play. There you have it, the life of Kishkumen on WoW in a nutshell.

The Homestar Runner store! While I did update this on the actual old post, I need more of an excuse to keep typing or something. See, this was a local only store in the mall in the city I live. The guy running it was cool and printed off several just cards for the coupons. The store disapeared a few months later… So, the coupons are of no use to anyone. But, saying things like “homestar runner store coupons” has increased the hits on my site quite a bit!

So yeah, if anyone has any other questions, post away.
