Now What?

Now that I have a blog, a webpage, and a Twitter account….what the hell do I do with them? Are they going to help me write more or better? Probably not. If anything, they are just more distractions;toys. Do I use them as a forum to air my grievances against my roommate, my town, my environment? (Actually, this idea has some merit.) I guess I could post endless tweets about news items that continuously feed across the bottom of my browser, ( I’m sure plenty of people have RSS feeds.), but frankly I find people that do that annoying. When I get a tweet from someone I am(was) following that contains the same info I just read five minutes ago…it’s like, why the fuck even have this?

Ultimately,(at least in my case), these devices; outlets are simply platforms to exercise my ego. When you have no product to sell; no agenda to push-what other reason is there?  Hopefully, I occasionally post a blog entry, a tweet, a video, or a toy that makes someone a little happier, a little more informed, or, perhaps, a little less bored.

Happy surfing.
