What is this? What year is this?… Who the hell starts a blog in 2014?

Apparently I do. A lot of people do it too, to be honest. It is, however, something that was neither on my immediate plans, nor on long ones. There is an itch, however, that has been afflicting me lately. This itch is the need to write something more structured, less restrained and, definitely, less work-related.

I miss writing.

So I decided to try this medium. I’ve always disdained it a bit, even though there are several blogs that I follow with avid interest. These, however, belong to characters or entities whose voice (in tone and/or content) I find quite important to hear.  Voices that make sense of these blogging shenanigans. Usually thematic, or close to it, these voices are what I think it makes sense in the format of a blog: medium to long essays on a focused theme. This is not what is going to happen here. Not exactly.

What is happening here, then?
