Oh my, I might get banned for this
Anybody who knows me or has read me for some time now knows I am very, VERY prone to periods of zero output. And it has just hit me again. I just lose the drive to write, even though there might have been a few things worth writing about (from the top of my head because it has been in the news recently: welcome back the Joker Arroyo that I loved). Even this entry is a bit forced, if only to put in something to note what I am up to these days.
And then there’s also Facebook. I know, I know, this is in Friendster, but Facebook was just a breeze to use. While I might still hold on to Friendster (if only for the fact that I’ve had it for the longest time), using it vis-a-vis FB seems to me like using a typewriter when there is, well, MS Word. As one of my friends succinctly put it, pang-jologs na ang Friendster. Now, I might protest some against that last description - being a Friendster user still - but Friendster does feel old in its features in this age of widgets and hyper-interaction. So I have been using it for some time now, and usually keep it open in the background.
And in a sign that Dec. 21, 2012 might indeed be the end of the Age of Man, my dad - yes, my 50’s music-lovin’, for-the-longest-time-vinyl-user, chess-maniac, ultimate taong-bahay Papa just created his account in Facebook. Freakin’ awesome.
