Dang, took that long for me to get around to this? Heh, since I made that first post a little over four years ago I think we've seen the mainstream rise and subsequent fall of what is known as blogging. Most normal folks seem to have given given up the drawn out sentences and paragraphs for social networking and brief farts of words encompassed in the hip new brands like Facebook and Twitter. Even MySpace is so last year. But hey, I remember back when we had to piece together shoddily written html in a text editor along with gaudy animated .gifs, only to upload it to Geocities or some other relic of the free webpage hosting days that are now long past.
I guess I'm not saying anything you don't already know. I'm just wondering aloud why do so many of us feel the need to broadcast what was once considered the mundane happenings of everyday life? Perhaps we know that we are easily amused by peering into the lives of others, and like the idea that someone else out there might be giving us that same sort of attention? More likely, I'm just looking way too closely into it.
Oh well. I could never figure out what to write in these "First post!" sorts of things. I suppose I could just say hello, however that comes off as plain and pedestrian. I could tell you what I intend to write about in this blog, but that almost seems pretentious to me as I'm not really the type to plan too far ahead. So I guess I'll just thank you for making your way through these mutterings I typed up, and hope I didn't scare you off from stopping by again in the near future. Because there is some (what I like to think is) cool stuff ahead. Hopefully I won't keep ya waiting too long.
