the redundancy issue is something i considered...one thing about that is although the short term goal of this journal is to keep my friends informed and hopefully entertained, the long term goal is to record my life for my future self to look back on...thirty years from now, i'm not going to go to facebook to relive memories but here instead...that's one reason why i want to cram as much as i can here...
How about less writing? I know you love writing and story telling, but I'm of the school of thought that praises the writing skills of someone who can get the same thoughts conveyed in a shorter word count. I propose writing a short synopsis and then add a link to a larger photo album with some captions. I think this would be advantageous for two important reasons:
1.) Expediency in your own writing: You always have a hard time keeping your writing up to date because of how long it takes you to write these entries out.
2.) Keeping the attention of your readers: Some of your entries are really long and they have a hard time of keeping my attention through the whole entry.

sorry kenzo, like i said up there, this journal is ultimately for me...i want to record every memory i can before they're slowly forgotten over time...i often apologize for long and/or boring entries but i'm not going to change how i write...
