Oh I like text messaging quite a lot. But I use it mainly to communicate with people who are in class or at work and unable to use their phones.
It's also useful for sending mass messages, ie "Gary's working the Paramount tonight, who's up for free movies?" or "BACON!". I frequently text message people relative gibberish, but it's really nice to get a message randomly in the middle of the day when I don't have time to talk saying something like, "Sue got cop legs. We ate salt. Smell my bols. Blister she ducked here lard lost dent. Ten goat skulls ok. Both logs are happy. I smell bad." That one was from Cynthia. She likes to play with the T9 function. T9 is a form of predictive text, where the phone tries to guess what you're trying to type. Fun stuff. I think daily blogs are lame. << my input. Remember kids, the internet loves you. Even though sometimes it touches you in the bad place. |

The one thing I'll say in defense of daily blogs (ahem) as opposed to diary blogs is that they serve as a vital ecological niche for the speciation and prorogation of sometimes beneficial memes. Given the severe threat reality finds itself under nowadays, I think this function may prove to be vital.
Just happy to be another node on the underground meme express out of the slave states, or, erm, something like that. This space left intentionally blank |

i'm currently being lynched on another messageboard for a tirade post i made recently on my own site. i have mixed feelings about this:
1) i looooove the attention 2) obviously, if i got them that riled up, i hit the target 3) but seriously, why the lynchmob? 4) it's more like a witch trial actually. sadly, i can swim quite well, even in a sea of shit like this, so break out the torches. |

I see that sort of blogging as just part of a general problem. There seems to be a type of person whose life is only validated when they have sms'd or blogged every thought they have.

You know, if there was some place somewhere that put a running list of every thought that went through my head, and my freinds knew about it, they probably wouldn't like me very much.

Arthur Miller said he read The Brother's Karamazov and that's when he knew he was going to be a writer. i learned this while reading The Crucible and had to find out who this Dostoevsky was.
oh, and what a grand affair it was when i read it. (BK) *sigh* thank you, Mr. Miller. _____________________________ Smoking makes your future brighter - His Majesty's Soothsayer |

i blog what i used to journal. just change or something i need to hear myself say. but i'm not a fan of wildly ridiculous angry rants. it sort of takes away the responsibility of the thing.

Personally, I like the fact that everybody in the universe has a blog or a journal. Sure, most everything out there is crap, but so what? I just don't read the stuff I don't like, but overall, I think the fact that we're all becoming the media is a good thing.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go post six paragraphs about what I had for breakfast (eggs). ---------------- "Stop me if you've heard this one before: a man walks into a bar and leaves before his ashes hit the floor." -Drive-By Truckers |

quote: Thank you for the link. I think that sort of blogs are great. Her blog is just a broadcast tool. Using the phone she would have to phone every friend she has to tell the story. It saves her a great deal of time. If I had all the time of eternity in my hand, i would use it like that : 40% Looking at the people in the street (to be honest : 39% at girls and 1% at others ) because they're alive. 40% reading kittyblogs. 10% reading smart stuff (to be honest : 1% understanding it, 9% trying to) Actually, WG blog and her blog are of equal value to me. But you right, she's not real to me. Actually I like to think of her as a WG's character : Her boyfriend doesn't love her. As she will discover soon he use her as a living stock of an ingenuous eyes and laughs. But, it won't surprise her. What she'll really discover is that he was away most of time during the party because he was selling computer programs and databases that he steals on his father laptop with a flash memory. She'll stay with him and get even closer because she 'll feel the urge to know why he's doing that and who is that girl he's selling it to and why she revealed it to her on messenger. And, maybe, because she hopes he may love her if she manages to make him realize who she is and what she can do for him. Last 10% writing stupid things and lies on my blog Lorien99 |
