Twitter Sucks

It's amazing how much things can change in a mere 2 and a half years. I'm browsing through an old email account in attempt to find an old friend. Wow!

Among one of the many things I've found is some old blog posts. I am now even more convinced that Twitter/Facebook is ruining it for the future writers of America. We have now all been trained to put our thoughts together in a few short sentences thanks to character limits... I miss Myspace/Xanga days of unlimited space! I can't even believe some of the posts I've written. How did those things come out of my head! No wonder my blog was so popular ;) hahah.

I remember being able to just jot down thoughts at any moment in time. Paragraphs and phrases would run through my head throughout the day and I would put it all together every night on kittycaht.com... Now days, give me a blank piece of internet posting space and all I can give back is a equally blank stare! Darn. Better work on getting that back.

Is it just me or is Twitter just not as fulfilling as a social networking site as Myspace once was? Facebook doesn't do it for me either. They're okay... but not lets-go-on-and-surf-for-8-hours-straight-without-getting-bored great. YaknowwhatImean? ;)

The problem with blogging is that most people don't LIKE to write. So if you're writing all this stuff and none of your friends are participating... it's no fun! Sigh, is blogging a lost art? ;)

Today is Halloween and instead of being out partying I am at home writing my first thoughtful blog in a while. I did go out earlier in the day to pick up a friend at the airport then take him and my roommate out to Brentwood Village to go costume shopping:

I've confided to close friends of mine that I miss my old blog dreadfully. Whenever I speak of it, I always mention of how one of the stupidest things I've ever done was to let it die and not renew it. They usually reply with something like: "Well, why don't you just do it again?". Well.... honestly, I could but it would take a commitment and passion for blogging that I seem to have lost over the years. As I grow wiser, I want less of my personal thoughts out in the open. Especially in a dangerous town like LA ;).

I started my blog with no intent of fame or followers but they came because of the passion. I believe passion in anything leads to success. Do what you love, that's the way. I've been attempting to love blogging again but for one thing, I am no longer as vain as I once was... ha! Photos were probably a huge part of getting people initially interested. Great content was what got them to stay. (Kinda like women). Sadly, I don't have the will to take photos of myself religiously everyday... not to mention my life is not as exciting as it once was with the lack of freedom I experience from school! The aforementioned problem of everyone moving on from blogging is also a problem. Oh well, if it is meant to be, it will happen one day, right? It's not to say that my life isn't exciting anymore, it still is, events are just spread thinner which makes for a shitty daily blog haha.

Man, what can I write about now? =P
