ello’ Tumblr! I thought we’d never meet again. We sure have a lot to catch up on! As it turns out, we’re about to become he best of friends, so forgive me for not calling. Yesterday I started thinking about my online persona and social networking as a whole, and how it detaches me from what is happening right now. I hate how dry and impersonal it all is. Example! Over the weekend I was in Isla Vista, CA when I walked up to our car to find an award, for parallel parking! I do park a mean parallel. I thought it was hilarious and immediately thought, “I must Twitter this!”

That’s scary, at least to me. That I couldn’t sit there and just enjoy my little award, but instead take a picture and “tweet” it. I was detached from the situation and in my own little Twitter-iPhone world. What is that? So, I am deciding to make a radical shift in how I go about my daily life. I deleted my MySpace and Twitter pages yesterday, effectively cutting me off from my entire social networking hemisphere. Its liberating! I’m even going to text-message less, we’re sticking to *shutter* real voice conversations here! It’s exciting, yes. At the same time, I feel old. Nevertheless, you - Tumblr, are my only online presence. A simple window inside my world for those who actually take the effort to find you, a faucet to get a former scribbler writing again for me. Lets see how this works, shall we? Maybe we’ll throw a party!
