My return to leisurely writing has been a long time coming. It’s been over ten years. I initially started blogging back during the days of Diaryland and Livejournal (many of you likely have no idea how significant these now, essentially defunct and archaic, blogging platforms were). Those were the days when Blackplanet was the thing, and Myspace was up and coming. I don’t think Facebook existed (or if it did, it wasn’t nearly what it is now).
AFROTRAVESTY was actually the first domain I ever bought (I was trying to be like the cool kids — no longer satisfied with the “free” sites). Oh, backing up a bit…back in those days, “blogging” wasn’t really in the popular lexicon; “blogs” were actually called “weblogs”, or journals, or diaries (you get the picture). My, how things have changed.
In any case, I was feeling nostalgic, and decided to see if AFROTRAVESTY was still available (I let it expire about 15 years ago). It was, and here I am.
