The year is 2013, things have changed.

Okay well, maybe just things besides my affinity for bad media. But honestly, there's a lot of stuff out there now!

It's pretty exhausting when you try to think about it. In fact, there have been studies saying that those without all this social media hulabaloo are a bit happier! When I read that, I feel a little responsible. 

See, when I was in junior high I decided to be a typical misanthrope and live my life online. I was pretty active in message boards, making lots of online friends at the time. I have always thought of Facebook and the like as a message board but for your friends in the physical world. Now it seems that everyone is living the digital way first and their real life and real conversations are becoming a lot harder for them to enact.

I also feel jipped! I worked really hard to get out of being so uncommunicative and made sure I could converse really well. Was that time wasted? Should I have spent it learning how to text faster instead? I wouldn't doubt that that has become a desirable job skill.

Anyway, I have just been trying to make sense of it all and get back into it somehow. I suppose putting a lot of work into a written blogpost that I wouldn't get much for didn't appeal to me. Also how does one compartmentalize? I mean if I want to do some varied things should I start a different blog for each? I have trouble finding my own keys sometimes, how can I expect myself to keep up with 2 blogs? 

This online world is constantly evolving. Who knows if these networks will last. I've always liked blogger though, since it allows for long form posts and interesting discussion, so that is where I'll try and get back into this.
