Emerging Media

This phenomena of emerging media - email, text messaging, blogging, Myspace, YouTube, Google earth. I'm a little slow catching on, but a dear friend sent me a link recently to a college acquaintance's blog site, and just like that - I'm hooked. Bizarre concept if you ask me. Allowing perfect strangers to read your most personal thoughts. I felt almost like I was intruding, but there was something about his story-telling skills that kept me coming back. His blogs were random and entertaining. I started checking in once a week to see what drama he was rehashing. I guess his skills inspired me to attempt to streamline my own inter-monologue of thoughts. I'll admit I keep a journal, but I've never shared my randomness with strangers. Who knows if anyone will ever read these marvels or if I'll ever choose to share this with my friends? For now this may best serve as some type of theraputic release. I just moved to a new city, and left behind a life I'm having trouble letting go of. I thought I was ready to return back to the east coast, and be closer to my family and old friends. But I've come to realize that home isn't home to me anymore, and starting over - is just plain hard.
