facebook killed the blogging star
well maybe not killed, but severly crippled.
so what if facebook is shallower and not as personal? blogging takes more time and thought, some would say, and in this day and age, we are all about saving time. to do what? erm, probably to waste it on something else.
our generation is all about instant gratification. why waste time waiting for someone to compose their thoughts and type out a lengthy diatribe about how bad their day was, and how much they have to do, and how tough work is, when a simple facebook status update stating "bryan is sick of work and tired" would work just as well?
it's akin to saying that you keep up to date on current affairs when all you do is read headlines.
at the end of the day, it's probably about being an exhibitionist, and to a large extent, that's what blogging and facebooking is all about. we want people to know how we are, how disgruntled (or happy) we are, and we want as many people as possible to read it.
but i guess even exhibitionists need a day off, or at least feel the need to expose themselves to a more private and descerning audience.
and that, my dear friends, is why i blog.

i'm glad you're still blogging.
sometimes i feel the urge to, but after throwing so many sheeps at people, or spanking them, or feeding them tons of virtual laxatives, strangely, the urge to express myself is gone.
and it sure does take less time too.
