Hey everbody…. If you come to my placeholder today, you probably had a good laugh. How come all my friends in wotachat didn’t tell me this? I guess they liked me looking like a fool…

It is time for another new theme here at True Life Seek. My excitement over the last theme wore out quickly. I can’t really put my feelings into words - I just didn’t like the theme anymore. This new theme is the same theme that’s used for Nocchi Drives Me Wild. It is simplistic like the original TLS theme, but also makes more effective use of browser space. My previous theme was very disappointing in this regard.

I am hoping that TLS will get a bit of a spark from this change. TLS hasn’t been completely stagnant in the last few weeks but the lack of entries is noticeable. I have topics that I have been planning or written up the beginnings of a draft to - Kaela Kimura, Namie Amuro, Perfume - but finishing entries has become more and more difficult.

Finishing March April Madness is a priority at the moment. I apologize for abandoning the project. Truth be told, I got burned out on it after doing so much in such a short time. For next time, I plan to space entries further apart. Labeling it “March Madness,” while good for posterity, is also unrealistic.

There will be a new feature to TLS: a Daily Links category. I am aware that I blog for International Wota. I have a few reasons for wanting to try this with TLS.

Philosophically, the purpose of Intl Wota entries is to share a particular blog entry. The purpose for linking blogs on TLS is so that I could respond personally to certain entries. This will mean that there will be some instances where I am talking about the same entry on TLS and Intl Wota. I’m also sure no one is going to complain that their blog gets more exposure. I’m not sure how I would I respond to that…

Furthermore, it is not just blogs that I’ll be linking as I have no reason not to link media - pictures, video, etc. - as well. Don’t be surprised if there is a ton of links to hello-online’s picboard.

I am always willing to try out new plugins, so any suggestions of plugins that you love would be helpful.

Regarding a style of entries, I am not planning on honing that down just yet. I actually like that some entries will contain nothing but pictures and others will be semi-researched pieces. Some days I will continue being absolutely negative (whenever I watch Haromoni) and other days I will have nothing but positive things to say (when I listen to Perfume).

Lastly, thank you to people that keep reading TLS! There are times when I slow on responding to comments. I feel bad when I see them coming from the same people and I don’t give any response. I might as well call some of them out now. 5 of them come to my mind: renaye, Yoshimi, Chris, Vee and Andrea. Thank guys! I appreciate anyone that comments but I realize that there are lots of readers who simply like to read and not comment. I don’t comment all the time on other blogs so I understand this line of thinking.

To save this blog from my insane plans to post millions and millions of Nocchi photos, I am going to contain it at a different home…

Nocchi Drives Me Wild

As you can probably tell, the TLS Decorative Decor Committee decided that it was time for a change in our humble abode.

I never meant to stay at Livejournal as long as I did. There were two outcomes. Either I was going to forget the thing existed or move beyond the limitations of Llivejournal. I knew that if I was going to keep a blog for the long run, I’d want to have some control over how it looked. Paying to use custom themes on LJ and Wordpress.com seemed silly when I could just run everything myself.

So this is truelifeseek.com. I kept the entries because I don’t really see this as a new blog or venture. It is merely a continuation of what was already started. The only change will be the (hopeful) increase in amount of entries.

I wanna thank Ray from American Wota for his advice on setting up the site. Everyone reading this should go to his forums, sign up and participate in the 2007 PV Challenge. The nomination phase is almost complete but it is dragging on and on.

I’m expecting to get into the swing of things within the next few days. I hope you all enjoy the new joint!
