For the record, it's only been summer for about 4 weeks.

That's right. Summer started June 21. It's not even the middle of the summer yet. It's been like 10000 degrees EVERY DAY so far. Naturally, in the middle of the summer, I would voluntarily switch jobs from one where I can wear a short sleeved shirt and jeans to a job where I have to wear a SUIT ALL THE TIME.

I like wearing suits, don't get me wrong. Nothing classier. BUT, I also am not allowed to drive yet. I use public transportation, but that isn't exactly door to door. Everyday in this shitty weather I end up walking about 4 blocks in ridiculous heat coupled with suffocating humidity. It's getting a little annoying coming to work drenched in sweat. One good thing I'll say about wearing a suit: you can't see the sweat as long as you leave your jacket on.
I firmly believe people should wear suits more often. They just look nice and people tend to act less stupidly when they wear them. We need less idiots strolling the streets doing idiotic things. But we also need better public transportation around here so people can wear suits, not do idiotic things and get to where they're going without looking like they just got off the basketball court. Just saying. Think about it, BARTA.

man does not survive on microblogging alone

I like little teeny tiny blogs. I think everyone needs to know everything I'm doing all the time, but are too busy telling everyone else what they are doing to actually read more than a sentence or two. Microblogs are the perfect solution. However, I find myself hitting the 140 character wall quite often and not posting anything. Quelle disastre! I can't imagine the amount of times I've disserviced the pairs and pairs of followers of my twitter account by simply not oversharing! Well, no longer - daddy's got a grown up blog now. It's like 1,000,000 tweets glued together!
Now, historically, this is just part of a cycle. This isn't my first blog, I must admit. I drank the xanga lemonade and tried the myspace thing as well (until it became the slum of the 'net). I even had a GEOCITIES blog, for Christ's sake. Of course, back in those days, weblog wasn't a word and no one I knew could use the internet for anything besides AOL chat rooms. But little teenage me was writing away. Probably about my sweet JNCOs.
Anyway, fast forward a decade and a half and I'm blogging again. About what? I'm not sure yet. I'll probably give my opinion on all kinds of stuff that I read on the web or see in my daily life. I don't even intend to make it public, I think. In the end I'll probably write just to keep my mind sharp and then inevitably abandon the blog until the next generation of blogs. Let the cycle begin!
