My Point Exactly

Wow, I haven't published a blog posting since February 6! Well, for all of you out there who aren't reading my blog anyway, here's a new post which you won't read.

But this brings me, sort of, to my point, and this is not meant to be a criticism to those who enjoy writing a blog posting every day. I know people like that and I totally respect what they do. But after spending a whole day at work, and a full Saturday in Grad school, I just can't park myself in front of my computer and start typing away in a blog or newsgroup. There are some newsgroups (or what they today call "social media") that I do lurk on and people post on what seems every minute of the day. I just wonder, don't people have anything else more productive and better to do than to sit all day and night posting onto a newsgroup or updating their blog all day long?

Look, I like the idea of a blog. It's a glorified online diary where one can post thoughts and get things off of their chest. It's the same thing that would occur if you used an old fashioned notebook-diary. Except in this case, others can read it. It's quite an interesting concept in this Web 2.0 generation. But try to become a new member of a newsgroup.. forget it! You'll need to go through a hazing period to get into these strange fraternaties.

So my thought... go outside.. play.. see a movie.. kiss your wife/husband/loved one... go to school.. stop texting.. join an organization to meet people in person, but get off the computer! I'm going to do that right now... to study my homework.

My point exactly.
