Break ups Always Hurt...

I've moved again...to a different continent, a different country, a different city and, alas, a different blog engine.  It's hard when long term relationships end like that.  For all I know, Wordpress might just be a rebound.  I might be washing my dirty laundry out in the open here but I need to get this out of my system and now! I tried and I tried hard.  I did everything I could to keep this relationship from dying. I gave it my everything. Even a VPN.  But, it wasn't meant to be.  Blogspot just wouldn't respond. Wouldn't even show me it's face.  I kept asking myself, "Why?  Why this indifference? Why the cold shoulder?  What have I done to deserve this?"  Here I was, all excited about moving to China and dying to share this excitement with Blogspot!  And all I got was silence.  Deafening silence! There's only so much a person can beg and plead, you see. So, finally I moved on. With a heavy heart and no choice. 

But, like some people believe, when the guy/gal who runs the place closes the door, he/she opens a window somewhere.  And so, he/she did.  I found a shoulder to lean on, a friend, a confidant at http://brainfullofideas.wordpress.com/.  Although Wordpress is a little fussy about the placement of my pictures on my blog posts, we are getting along fine.  We fight and argue about the pictures every once in a while but, so far, so good.  I have already shared quite a few of my adventures with it and its been a good listener.  But,  I am going to take this as it comes. One step at a time.  If Wordpress doesn't change its attitude towards uploading my pictures and putting them where I want, I might change my mind and move back in with Blogspot.  After all, Blogspot has been good over the past few weeks. I have been testing him and he's been doing fine.  He's apologised and mended his ways (or so I think).  And forgive and forget is never a bad policy, is it?
