Gah! Blogger has a new look. I knew it had been a while but I didn't think it had been THAT long. Not only is there the guilt from leaving behind the blog for a couple months, but now I feel older still. Kids these days and their new-fangled technology... Who am I kidding; no "kid of today" actually writes in a blog anymore. LiveJournal and Xanga can sit down in the nursing home of blog sites, because tumblr is here as a young, brash, camera whore of a blog. I suppose even though the majority of posts are pictures (or better, pictures with words on it so as to replace an actual blog entry), it would still be called a weblog, so thus "blog". Bah, and now I've said blog too much and the word doesn't make sense anymore.
Anyway, like I said, I'm feeling quite old because it's getting a bit more mind-boggling/it's taking me a bit longer/the amount of features is almost too overwhelming... to figure all this stuff out. I'm growing into one of those adults that need the tween kid to show me how to copy and paste things from the Edit menu. I used to be the prime age group to pick this stuff up like second nature and now it's growing at a faster, quicker-than-IM pace than I can keep up on. Who would have thought IM would be considered "slow"? Nowadays, it's all about multitasking and taking a picture to broadcast to your group of 1034 friends about what you're doing. Whatever happened to the Buddy List of people you could pick and choose to relay information to?
Well, okay, fine. This "Word Document" format for a post isn't so bad. Has it always auto-saved the draft like that? Niiiice.
Anyway, I think I'm past my Writer's Block. Now it's a matter of not ending up a dumb lump on a log. I'm looking into these Khan Academy-esque sites that teach you things you might want to know and ought to know. If I learn at least one new thing a week, it might be enough to keep me from falling into a depression related to how my intellectual prime must have been my 3rd year of college when I juggled different subjects effortlessly. I have a brain that is aware of itself and its surroundings...! Because of this fact, the amount and quality of the stuff I can learn... the possibilities are endless.
