Okay...I've held out for a while. Much longer than I thought I would. I mean, in this great technological medium of the Net, what more could I add to popular culture.
But, escaping the fascination of these things is impossible. I've witnessed friend after friend succumb to the siren of the Blog. Conversations and catch phrases no longer rely on simple shared experiences at the movies, a Farkle faux pas, lazy Saturday afternoons channel surfing, or finding out how many drinks it takes before I dance.
Of course, dear reader, your eyes on these words now reveal how far behind the times I've fallen. I never professed an expert tongue in the street patois, nor could I be accused of being on the leading edge of fashion. However, I labored under an illusion that I knew what was going on out here in cyberspace (is that even an allowed term these days?). I am from the first generation to turn in high school research papers comprised entirely of internet source material. Of course, this admission indicates that I am woefully underqualified.
Is this an effort to keep up with the digital Joneses? Perhaps... Yet, I feel it's an answer to a question that hasn't been asked of me. Am I ready to put aside a mere envy of those who grabbed the attention, and profess my true self?
To which I respond, "Bring it!"
