Joining the Online Social Frenzy

Ok, I’ve finally stopped living in 2005 and started living in 2008. I’m now on Twitter and Facebook. And before I say anything else, let’s be sure to add Twitter and Facebook to the list of things that people do only because other people are doing them. So I’m guilty of doing at least two of those things. But hey, if Ashton Kutcher can get a million followers on Twitter, I figure I can probably get four or five.

On the flip side, I doubt I can say anything worth reading in 140 characters or less, considering I have an unlimited amount of space on this blog and can’t offer anything worth reading on here. So don’t get your hopes up. Nevertheless, I’ve leapt out of my old-man rocking chair and into realms that are well below my age bracket.

And just for the record, I posted a joke on here about how one of the symptoms of the swine flu includes, “tasting delicious with applesauce” the day before Stephen Colbert joked on The Colbert Report that one of the symptoms includes, “tasting like bacon.” So clearly the Emmy-winning writers of the The Colbert Report read my blog to steal ideas for their show. Since they’re no doubt reading this right now, let me just say, “You’re welcome.”
