So, Google Buzz reminded me I still had this thing lying around, this blog, and it was still unused after a loooong time.
Why did I get this blog anyway? To be perfectly honest, to test some OpenID stuff at my previous place of employment. Never really got the hang of this blogging stuff; my web page usually updates about three to four times a year, mostly when I've been working on something. So blabbering on-and-on about my "keen insights" on technology, life and the world at large, never did appeal too much to me. Real computing geeks don't talk about it, we just do it, right?
But this Buzz thing irked me, so I just had to start clicking around. Yay, another social networking site to get addicted to? I need that like crack junkies with a pokemon-fetish needs a new color 8-ball collectible... I've gone so retro in socializing, I'm back hanging out in bars. Yeah, those physical, real-life locations for getting buzzed, hammered and laid, not necessarily in that order. (Didn't mean to make it sound like something that a carpenter does to wood at a construction site, but there ya go.)
And let me tell you, being a software developer is the worst possible opener on any gender. So I took up sky diving... which people don't believe when they see me, but at least their eyes don't roll over halfway into the word 'software' and fall asleep mid-way in 'developer'. (Mind you, those people might have been drunk as a skunk and passing out, but I've gotten to the point where that seems statistically unlikely.)
So, why suddenly this outpour of random musings and mental mishmash? Well, my mouth isn't work. As in real-world mouth. Specifically the throat. A little tonsillectomy does drive through the "silence-is-golden" thing, so my usual forays into badgering bar-hopping strangers spewing BS has been replaced with staring at the computer screen, TV screen and an alarming growth of dirty dishes and the lifeforms evolving on them. The bubble had to burst at some point, and then I demeaned myself by becoming this bottom-feeding, attention whore known as... a blogger...
I hope they have some medication for that.
