About five years ago, I started blogging heavily on my Myspace account. I loved it. It gave me an outlet to spew my thoughts to anyone who would take the time to read it. I was also home alone a lot at the time and it kept my cabin fever in check. Then the internet winds of change shifted and it blew pretty much everyone I knew to a new social network...
Facebook.
I was so reluctant to make the switch. Partly because I could decorate my Myspace profile and that satisfied my "I'm a Designer and I want to make everything beautiful" side. But what really kept me holding on was the ability to blog. Sure, Facebook has the ability to post "notes" on your page which is basically equivalent to blogging, but it just didn't feel the same. So since then, I have been taking a break from the internet opinion factory.
It's just now, years later, that I was reading a random stranger's blog when I finally decided to get off my butt and start writing again. And just like before, it' s mostly dribble. The opinions of someone who doesn't really matter. Trivial things like: the banes of parking lots and what I ate for breakfast. But the fact that you've even read the last three paragraphs of this inaugural post says either you think I'm interesting, you're related to me in some way, or you have nothing better to do than read what I have nothing better to do than write.
