Out of complete randomness, I thought back upon my writing style now compared to how I wrote when I was much younger. As it happens, I posted a ton on this site back in the day and happen to have several old entries in my blog.

Goddamn, it's been a long time. I believe the last I frequented TL was when SC2 was just beginning to become popular in the esports scene... so yea, a bit of time has passed. As such, I looked back upon my old blog entries here and it's nice to have a perspective from my younger days. As expected, some of the entries did make me cringe pretty badly but hey, everyone's entitled to a period of immaturity, right?

Anyway, it's nice to be back on this site. So much has changed, but it looks like the foundation and philosophy are still consistent with how it was back then. Thanks for staying classy, fellas

I remember you I look back on some of my own blogs/posts in a similar way, that's for damn sure. I feel like for our generation that grew up alongside the internet's spread and acceptance, our growth came hand-in-hand with the developing standards for communication used online. It really felt more like the "Wild West" back in the day.

Wow it's ilovezil. It really has been a while... it looks like you mostly stopped posting in the 2011-2012 timeframe and came back for a bit in 2014. I hope life has been treating you all right.
