its BLOG BLOG BLOG

so what's up with everyone and their mom in kokomo getting a blog all of the sudden? did something occur at an event that inspired everyone to blog? i always find it funny when this phenomenon happens because it dies out after a few weeks or months and then there are a bunch of dead blogs laying around (thank god the internet doesn't generate waste, our planet would be covered in sludge from all the dead websites). sometimes one or two blogs make it through to continue living but most of the time, rest in peace.

i've been blogging since before "blogging" was a word (oh, aren't i amazing?) in various venues on a regular to semi-regular basis. my first online journal was on deadjournal.com in 8th grade, i think. the continuous blogging picked up in 9th grade for sure. i've been on deadjournal, livejournal, xanga, blogger, myspace, facebook, blogspot, and in various places on my own. it's entirely possible to trace my online presence from place to place over the years (though it's getting harder with inactive accounts getting deleted all the time).

now i update a blogspot account, nathanandkylee.com, and sometimes myspace. they all reach different audiences, so i cross post. i think it's amusing how easy blogging and generally keeping everyone updated on your life is nowadays. when i was in hs, we all depended on aim away messages. now we have the ability to text our status to facebook or twitter in real time. blogs themselves are way more user-friendly than before - it's so easy to have an amazingly awesome layout with no knowledge of web at all.

do you think that if i ever got famous, people would find my old blogs from when i was 15 and publish them and everyone would pick apart my words and somehow declare me a psycho?

i forgot my point, but welcome to the blahg world, whoever. i hope you survive.
