And the internet manages to suck me back in
So, OK, I’ve been on a brief haitus from internetting.
See, I used to do a lot of writing, and reading, and all sorts of stuff on the internet. Some of you may remember my involvement in certain ventures online, where a relatively prolific and verbose Jake wrote all sorts of crap.
Then stopped.
Its not that I lost the internet’s phone number, or owed gambling money to it, or had some sort of beef with it, its just that, well, we sorta lost contact.
It happens, y’know, things get in the way, you get married, you build a bar, you send your kids to school, and then one day you bump into the internet in the grocery store, and, y’know…
…awkward…
Theres the small talk, you usually say something like “you look good, seems like you’ve been working out or something” and it says “no, not really, but thanks” and you try as hard as you can to keep your buggy moving, because, lord knows, if you stop in the aisle its a genuine CONVERSATION, and you’re not going to get out of it no matter how much you look for an out.
Anyway, that happened to me, figuratively speaking, this morning. I was watching Bell play around on her facebook, and damned if I didn’t start making an account myself.
And I’m sucked right back in.
So, here I am, internet. You know where I live now, and that little “write a post today” voice started popping back up in my head.
Guess it beats working…

Just like an eagle getting sucked into a jet engine.
Hmmph.
It does beat working though.
“Just like an eagle getting sucked into a jet engine.”
Yeah, or a bigassed turkey buzzard.
I tried to get sucked into facebook, but it just doesn’t do it for me. I joined, but mostly I’m annoyed at having to feed it. It keeps emailing me “feed me, feed me!!” and I keep trying to pretend it doesn’t exist.
I mean it’s fun to look people up if you haven’t seen them in ten years, but that doesn’t mean I want to *talk* to them.
Yah. I’m thinking facebook will be a brief dalliance, like genealogy, myspace, and rum.
turkey buzzard… heh
Gobble
Facebook is great for tracking your son’s drinking habits across foreign lands. Other than that, I have heard from some old friends that have found me on it which is fun, but I don’t plan my day by it. I am glad that you have found your way back to writing. Could haiku be in the near future? I sure hope so.
Hang on a second while I put on my best Billy Crystal:
“A blogger, blogs…always!”
Oooooo….let’s do HAIKU!!!
as long as people don’t get fussy and stoopid about it…
Whew,
I’m all caught up! And grinning from ear to ear!!
So happy to see that everyone is good.
Yay!!
I made a facebook page a while back, but never did anything with it. Guess I’ll just have to take another look at it. : )
See I just made myself a facebook account the other day, too. Then i get this email that says Jake wants to be your facebook friend and I think hell’s done gone and frozen over.
sshhh….(he’s hooked) heh
I have a facebook account, but the only people I found on there were my kids. And I kinda know where they are all the time anyway.
I can’t remember anyone from high school I would like to run into again, so…
Maybe Jake will be my friend?
