Death of Blogging after Facebook!

I thought about ending this blog recently- with my joining facebook, and the world within it, I've been really slacking on updating posts. Even before facebook, I was only posting pictures!! So, what to do now, when I can post pics to FB, and my Jonas and Luna website- and stay in touch with everyone if I have anything witty to say, via FB? I suppose that means I'll just have to write more here.


I've been looking around for inspiration, and even digging deep into the vault, here- at Blue Ryder. I've been blogging now for almost four years. I re-read all of my posts about Ryder, all of my vacation posts (I especially loved the Europe 08 recaps of our hotel stay, and the "reclamation"), the fat war posts, entries about my dad going through open heart surgery, watching the evolution of my pictures, all of it. The best part of reading was taking a look at all of the comments from friends...the crazy things they has to say, the back and forth about Britney Spears and LOST, and American Idol. I've decided that I can't stop blogging.

But, what if I don't have anything interesting to say? What if what I need to say can simply be said by updating my facebook status? Like, "Welcome home Tai-shan"? Everyone knows that I love Pandas, and updating my facebook status is probably going to be a lot easier than finding a picture of a panda, posting it here, and then writing about how much I love pandas, maybe providing a link to the news, and then hoping that someone sees it! LOL! FB has made me lazy.

Well, we'll just have to see what happens. Blogging is like using a land line for Internet dial-up....but so many memories here in these pages..we'll just have to see what happens..

I mean, from this blog, The Sherpa got her nickname. I love how that just stuck. Although, I think her new name is Manna. Which is pretty good too.

Don't stop blogging. Not all of us are on facebook. Not all of us tweet.

Leave this channel comm open. Use it when you need to.

Yeah, I think we all come to a point where we want to just delete the sucker. But I'm glad no one has yet.

I remember capswell denouncing it as well. Don't do it! What I like about Blogger over any other weblogging device/outlet is that it's like you're own news mag with no time deadline. It's also forces you to at least try and not be lazy at writing. Although I'm pretty bad at it.

But it's nice when everyone drops some random post in the Bloggerverse, because it's usually thought out to some extent. Sometimes. Heh.

Besides you have your real website now.

That's the thing, I have this one, I have Jonas and Luna, I have my FB, I have a FB page for Jonas and Luna...how do I simplify? I don't want to do alot of random things half-ass, I'd rather do one thing well. I suppose FB is more like a networking tool, not necessarily a home for writing. That's probably what this will turn into to. That's what it used to be..
