A couple years ago, I was able to manage a great run of consecutive posts titled, "Event Log." I made detailed journal entries about what I did for every day from October 5th to November 11th. It probably remains, to this day, the most comprehensive record of personal activities in my life. I can read any entry from that period and relive each day in its full glory, and re-experience every emotion and thought in that moment of time.
I don't have any particular attachment to the past. What I remember is what I remember. But there's something special about knowing, without a single doubt, exactly what happened on a specific date. If everybody kept such detailed records about their lives, can you imagine what insights we, as a civilization, can unearth? Underneath the gargantuan task of living has to be some profound universal thread that ties us all together, and if not, at least I know what I had for breakfast that day.
I always wondered if I should do it again. It definitely consumed a lot of energy to produce every night, but because of that, I'm able to look back on it today and say: Yup, that's what I did.
The hell with it, it's to herald the return of Event Logs!
The run starts now.
