Got some change?

It was that time of the month again. I felt the need to turn everything upside down, throw things away and start everything all over again. So I tore my room apart looking for old junk I didn't want anymore. I went and bought myself a whole bunch of new clothes *somersaults* I took some decisions about issues that had been gathering dust in my imaginary inbox for a long time.
I momentarily considered doing a G.I. Jane and shaving all my hair off but thankfully, even in my most impulsive moments, a ray of reason sometimes shines through. Little mercies...

So how could my blog be left out, right? At first, I planned to transfer all the posts from my old blog onto this one. Now, tranferring 2 years worth of content is no mean feat but I started out on the process anyway. College has made me such an expert at the art of copy pasting that I wouldn't be surprised if one night, I woke up screaming : "Control C!!! Control V!!!"
But after about an hour of consistent post tranferring, I paused to make some use of my grey cells. If the whole point of this blog is to start afresh, why in the world was I copy-pasting my past all over it?
So, another impulsive decision was made and I spent the next 15 minutes deleting everything left, right and center.
Let's do a little 'looking back on things' here: I've been blogging since 2006. Or was it 2005? My first blog was called 'The Boulevard'. It was a highly personal, anonymous (yes yes the irony does not escape me. Highly personal and anonymous..I get it) In 2006, the above was revamped, edited and reintroduced as 'The Furnace'. That blog continued to bear the brunt of my written words till earlier this month (September, 2008). And today, we see the innauguration of what should technically be called 'The Furnace Part II' but in my opinion, that's a horrible name to christen a blog with. So, here it is finally -the end product.
Now that the customary speeches have been made and the required history touched upon, down to business...
The new Furnace is officially ready for public viewing.
