Untitled Documents is my first blog's first formal title. The name is sort of funny: one day I finally decided to get a real title for my blog then my laziness hit me so instead of making something creative I used the most suitable title since most of my blog entries were untitled.
Despite never spent time to name it, I took good care of my blog. I blogged daily, interacted with readers, really put some thoughts on the blog. Being who I was, the blog inevitably became very political and that didn't please the Chinese government. As a result my blog was blocked by the Great Firewall for a long time. Most of my readers never came back, not even when my blog was unblocked.
I deleted some unimportant personal stories here.
Later I got back with my old girlfriend and we were seriously planning to get married. She convinced me to keep a blog together, and that's how I stopped my first blog. A while later our relationship died so did that co-blog. I never went back to start my old blog again. It was too old that I no longer felt connected to it.
Here I blog again, and I keep the old title. We live in the era which we suffer from mass information. We see, hear, and experience so many things every minute that we don't care about them anymore. Indeed while we are living in the Information Age really we are living in the age of constant short term memory loss. There's no difference between something happened 3 days ago and 3 decades ago, so having a title or not will change its fate. Who am I kidding? Even in this big bang of information everything here is unique. Indeed they are so unique that they don't need titles so that they can be forgotten, but they can be remembered as they are untitled.
