I've fallen behind again

Not on posts, because I never promised to be daily. I've fallen behind on the times. Once again, the century has passed me by.

When I started this blog in high school, it shocked the nation, like Bobby Thurman (for my sports friends) or Lexington (for my historically minded friends). If you're neither, it was like the shot heard round the world. Mortonson entered the blog-o-sphere.

I was actually doing something modern, something technological, something normal kids my age were doing.

Well, my friends, apparently "blogging" is no longer what it was 3 years ago. Even though this is on BLOGGER.COM, I have been informed that this is a livejournal. I assume it's like if I had a Model T, and I told people I had a Ford. It'd be true, but it's probably not what they were expecting.

You see, blogs, I guess, are now supposed to serve some sort of purpose. Comment on one centric idea. Like sports, or presidents, or broadway, or license plates collections. But my blog, does all those things. And, in the meantime, talks about my life.

Back in my day, a blog was a diary. Suddenly it's supposed to be something more sophisticated. And durned if I'll be more sophisticated. I didn't spend three years in college to grow. I spent three years in college because I have nothing better to do.

Which is why I'm blogging at 1:30am. I will not be changing my blog into a thematic site, nor will I start a livejournal (because a) i don't want to and b) i dont' know how to).

By the way, livejournal doesn't make anysense. Is it updating all the time on its own? Is it a video feed? Then how could it be live? It's a misomer, and frankly my dear, I wont' stand for it.

Random Factoid: There is no team with a .500 or less record in teh tournament this year...That's a first for quite a while. I have no automatic pick in the play-in game (I always pick the sub-.500 team, and it usually works).

Pip pip.

I don't think you need a theme! I enjoy your blogs the way they are. =)
