Well.... It's been a while...
Let me just say that I am watching a confused marketing professor attempt to show a class of tech savvy students how to use this site... And it is a bit painful to watch...
On a side note, it's strange being a student again. After 7 years on the other side of the table. It's like reopening a book that you once loved to find it changed with time and perspective. Yet at the same time, you still enjoy the characters, the story, and flipping through the worn pages that fall open in your favorite places where you cracked the spine.
7 years ago, there was no generation gap like this. There were chalkboards and old fashioned projectors. Now, the generation gap is certainly amusing, if not particularly 'educationally helpful'.

Is this the lamest blog on the internet?
So... I was going back and re-reading some of my old posts...
Yikes! I have to laugh at myself, shake my head, and mutter "emo much" under my breath. Apparently, when I blog, I almost always do it when I'm depressed or frustrated or angry, which means most of my posts sound like some 18-year old wannabe goth poet wrote them. It's terrible!
Though, in the end, I actually do feel better when I can vent my emotional turmoils here. One, if I vent here, I don't have to embarrass myself by sharing my overly dramatic feelings with other people. Two, it helps me work through the various, winding ideas I have floating around in my head by putting them into a (relatively) coherent whole. Three, like number One, I don't have to hold back for fear of being judged or for fear of hurting someone. Four, since this is anonymous, I don't have to worry about my fears getting back to the people about whom I'm worrying or my feelings getting back to the people about whom I'm thinking.
Regardless, though my little blog therapy has been good for me (cathartic one could say); however, now I'm aware of the silliness of the way that I write (no Hemingway-like tales in my future). So, that is why I can't help but wonder if this is the lamest blog on the internet... ;-)

My words and smile are so easy now
So, as "you" may have noticed, I have all of one comment anywhere on this blog.
It's interesting. I mean, I guess I thought that people would be so much more open and talkative on a blog, you know, I thought that people might notice.
Now I realize that this is one amongst many. There are family blogs with updates of children, travel blogs with photos of exotic places, and many blogs about things. It's these blogs about things that I think are the most interesting. I mean, are we really so inundated with materialism that we need to blog about our favorite perfume or dress?
I wonder why I thought that blogging had something to do about the person, the individual, the human being.
