Has it really been that long?

Well yeah, it has.
I can assure you though, it's not by choice. I'm always thinking I should post something, then finding that there is nothing in my life worth a whole blog (that's why Twitter was invented, right?).
Things seem so impressive or important to us at the time, but looking back - maybe even just a few hours later - they're nothing.

A couple of kids get in a fight? Who cares?
Some of my exam results are in? No big deal, there's more to come.
I saw a few cool movies? They come and go.

That's one thing about the Internet. It convinces us that our lives are more important than there really are. That people living thousands of miles away actually care about our mediocre lives. I mean, it's great that we can connect with people all over the world, but to what end if all that's to do is whine to them about how much we hate our lives?

Whoa, that ended up far more pessimistic than it started out.
