Random Saturday
So I haven't posted in a long time, and after reading reverendbrap's last post I was motivated to actually contribute. I dunno, maybe it was because it was about travel which is something I totally relate to or maybe it's just his honest and detailed writing style that I relate to. In any event, here goes...
I'm now on Facebook and Twitter, The Facebook thing I've been doing for a month or two, the Twitter account I just got on Thursday night when I had to stay up until 4 AM running campaigns out of a new system we installed for a client at work. I mean, what the hell else was I gonna do. I also got a www.blip.fm/ account, hence my last couple of posts from there. It's kinda like Twitter, but with music. Not sure how I feel about Twitter yet. I think I like Facebook better, but I'm still learning Twitter. Definitely more of my friends on Facebook, and that's what makes it fun anyway.
Was disappointed that Auburn lost to Tennessee today in the SEC basketball tournament semis. I'm afraid Auburn's 9 of 11 finish to the season still isn't enough to impress the NCAA selection committee. It's a down year in the SEC for basketball, and I think Auburn finds itself on the outside of the bubble and headed for the NIT.
I'm training for a sprint triathlon which is 6 weeks from today. I was doing really good in my training until about 3 weeks ago. Now I've kinda been in a rut the last 3 weeks, only running 1 - 2 days a week. I went to swim today, and it just kicked my ass. The swimming is the part I'm most worried about, because of my work travel I can't practice enough. If I can get through the swim, I'll know I'm home free. I'd better step it up the next 6 weeks if I'm going to able to finish and not croak. Still, I'm in better shape that I've been in awhile.
I haven't flow an airplane in years. Not for lack of desire, but due to a lack of time, money, and focus on my part. Those are just excuses though. I need to just make it happen.
OK - I think that's enough for tonight. Here's your moment of zen. I now have the following digital personalities: LJ, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, blipfm, and 3 different email accounts. Does all this technology bring us closer together, or get between us? I now have a digital relationship with many dear friends that I used to know in person. Still, a digital relationship is better than no relationship at all. I guess I'm struggling with so many damn websites to update just to feel close to the group of friends I've really had.
Later.
