who can precisely say how many times i've vowed to revive or fix my blog one way or another? just a guess? no one?

rightly so, since even i can't remember. but whatever the number, you might want to add one more.

yes, you heard me right. plans are *yet again* under way. and i'm feeling so much more confident on this one. i've even got my layout and stuff previewed in photoshop, and i'm pretty sure i can make it happen this time.

looking back a little, it's a bit soul-shaking that this is exactly the way i've felt about my previous attempts. excitement and commitment, with a sprinkling of self-doubt here and there. but in my reflection, i've also seen the error of my ways. this time over, i'm not going in over my head with bizarre design ideas and grandiose plans, which all get stuck in the drawing board anyway. i'll be sticking to what i know my mediocre capabilities can handle, then i'll work my way up from there. i don't plan to make this a show-stopping presentation, but simply a learning experience.

normally, i'd be asking for luck by this part of the project. but rather, i'll say this time,

"watch out for me."
