So now it's all about warming-up paragraphs.
It's a sad blogging truth that it requires time to perfect a blog. When I started this my mornings were light and sweet like the coffee that accompanies them. The beverage has stayed the same, if it's not sweeter, but the work is different.
It's a good exercise but it's also so much more. I've grown to love the blogging process. I was talking with my friend last night about blogging. He didn't understand the concept and said it must be hard. I couldn't disagree more. Writing is hard should have been my response.
In the previous paragraph when I said, “talking with my friend” I really meant “texting.” There’s a subtle difference. It’s what my brother might call the “antisocial media” effect. It’s clear that social media (of which I would include texting) has made connecting with people and sharing ideas infinitely faster. There’s no lag in migration of information. It’s the communicative equivalent of the global economy. My brother argues that the social media monster has actually eroded the natural methods of human communication. You know, like talking. Over the weekend, the same brother joined Facebook. He’s good at it.
I think I just found the topic of my next warm-up blog.
