…considering that I view blogging as narcissistic? Sadly, all of the web is narcissistic to some extent. “LOOK AT ME! I’M IMPORTANT!”
To me, Twitter is the epitome of web narcissism. If the sky was falling, millions of chicken littles would simultaneouly tweet “The sky is falling! #skyfalling”. I find it annoying, yet I have a Twitter account. However, 140 characters are extremely limiting, as I often want to say much more.
Such was the case a few days ago. While researching something of interest, I came across numerous forum threads from years ago, which seems often the case. I wished to contribute, but knew the threads were long dead. Plus, forums tend to be more about opinion than information exchange. What does that leave me?
There’s always my website, www.djrcreative.com, but that’s a lot of work. Sure, I could use a web-authoring program, but I pride myself on hand-coding. Actually, I miss MySpace. I still have my account, but am embarrassed to use it, as it’s become passé within my demographic. To date, I have avoided Facebook, for reasons which will get their own post.
Indeed, I find myself with more and more on my mind lately, yet no way of sufficiently expressing these thoughts. In addition, during the course of a day, my curiosity results in a lot of “research”. Ultimately, I’d like to think that my efforts could benefit other people. If for no one else, this would at least be a record for myself. In the end, I suppose blogging fits my needs.
