I'm all hooked up.
So I didn't think I'd ever return to this thing again but I figured, hey, somebody's gotta still be watching so I thought I'd throw in some words...
Time away from Livejournal has been an interesting few months that wasn't much away at all -- just "moved" to Facebook since that is undeniably what has taken over as of late. I won't get into it as I seem to do that a lot with people but goddam, in all of it's addictive, effective glory, the masterful FB (not as cool as "LJ" btw) certainly scares the crap out of me. And it should scare you too. My whole workplace, where I happen to be right now, is starting to get accounts and even my own mother got one a couple weeks ago to look at some friend's photo album. Though I promptly told her if she had anything to do with it/me, I would run away from home. And to think, with something as powerful and expansive as Facebook, you have to wonder what kind of tabs the government's keeping on people and/or their profiles, photos, groups, events, etc.
Anyyyway. The reason I'm here is to follow-up on that last post I made. Yesterday, yours truly turned 19, which is kinda-pretty-cool, and on that occasion, my good ol' friend David (aka Lumpy/Grumpy Lumpkins) gave me a website! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's not much now as he just put a basic set-up on it for the time being but this finally moves things forward a bit in terms of getting the mass amounts of BS I seem to enjoy putting on the internet (music, words, recommendations, etc.). Very soon, it will hold just about everything I've tried to convey whether over here or on that shitty MySpace music player or anywhere else. Most importantly, it will hopefully allow myself to further move on from those aforementioned virtual monstrosities. As for Livejournal, you've been good to us all (for the most part), and it is time to say goodbye.
Sooo bye. Onwards!
