Why I Can’t Maintain A Blog

So… I’m usually very on top of the tech scene as far as gadgets go.  However, I’m usually way behind in social networking.  I was using MySpace way past its prime, then I moved on to Facebook.  I still update my Facebook all the time, even though I don’t have many friends on there (not that I don’t have many friends in real life… I just like to uphold that MySpace-conservative “I’m not adding you as a friend unless you’re REALLY a friend” attitude.)  I also just started using Twitter… err… again.  I had previously used it under a different name, but it fell into disuse and I became embarrassed of the hollow shell of a profile it had become.

Anyway, I used to maintain a WordPress blog a long while back, where I’d write about my tech-related ideas.  That eventually fell into disuse.  I always tell myself that I NEED to start keeping a blog because that’s what all the cool people do.  But I can’t.  This is why:

Blogging is slow.  Seriously, it takes MINUTES.  Twitter takes seconds, and can be done from a cell phone.  True, most blog hosts do allow mobile updates, but who really wants to type a big essay on their phone?  Come on, we’re in an era of instanteous gratification.  It’s all about the here and the now.  It’s all about the “I’m washing my dog” and the “lol my dog just got me soaked, going to shower” and the “I’m in the shower now; man I have a huge dong.”

Okay, I’ve lost my train of thought while thinking about how gigantic my dong is.

Here’s my Facebook
Here’s my Twitter
…and here’s my MySpace.

Enjoy my sub-par Internet social life.
