I want to be with 360 until the bitter end, but I also have to recognize that it is ending and I have to use Profiles. Below is the post I just wrote for Profiles. Until shutdown day, I will post my Profiles post onto 360 as well. Old habits die hard. I ask that if any of my friends are going to Profiles, look for me. I am and always will be "crqri" and I look forward to maintaining the contacts I have made here. God bless, everyone.
From Profiles:
Well, this is my first entry on this new Profiles platform. When I started blogging on 360, I thought to myself it was a safe bet. Yahoo was an internet stalwart that wouldn't go away anytime soon and 360 was going to be their answer to MySpace and Blogger and dominate with their unique niche. Boy did I get that wrong! Through the rise and fall of Mash, the weirdness of Multiply, and the hope brought forth by 360Plus in in Asia, I stayed loyal. The only reason I am here now is because my friends' comments were ported over along with the rest of my blog (this is the singular reason that I did not adopt Multiply, even though I still keep my account active over there. Now its more for internet identity protection moe than for anything else. My mission is still the same - this blog will give a window to my mind for that particular moment in time, and it will serve as my means of communicating to my son Christien, until the day God sees fit to have us together again. I am not, however, going to only be using Profiles as I did with 360. Thank you Yahoo for allowing me to download my blog content. You have shown me, as much as this recent economic crisis has, that nothing is guaranteed and that nothing can be taken for granted. I can't guarantee that I will be vigilant to Profiles, but I really want to be. I believe in loyalty, and I relish any opportunity to be an early adopter. Yahoo, please don't lose me to Blogger or to Wordpress. Do right by your customers. We want to do right by you.
Christien, daddy loves you and misses you. My wish for Father's Day is to know you are well. Take care and God bless and protect you, mi hijo.
